Summary: Companies rarely/barely tolerate people who speak about wrongdoing, whether it is done internally (to management or among colleagues) or externally without naming anyone; at Sirius there has been a culture of gagging and isolation, hoping to prevent clients and the wider public finding out what’s truly going on, but it is time to break the silence
THE latest (and one before last) part of our report is just about the thirtieth, focusing on how management at Sirius ‘Open Source’ was trying to prevent staff talking to one another. This strategy isn’t entirely unique and there are several names for it.
The video above discusses what went on and why a witch-hunt began. Sirius ‘Open Source’ is not Open Source and it has been doing unethical as well as illegal things. It’s trying to prevent staff knowing about it and being able to discuss such matters. But at the end there’s a bit of a Streisand effect.
The saddest thing is, the company’s management also lies about itself. For instance, one new boss was introduced as a person who had created a successful company, however the public record indicates that this is either a dissolved two-person company (failed and forcibly de-registered) or a one-man ‘company’ with barely any activity in it. Extravagant claims to impress the easily-impressionable? If a one-person company is “successful” according to that one person, does that even mean anything? Look what he has done to Sirius. The company is shrinking into nothing (more ‘managers’ than technical people).
Big egos turns big companies into tiny boutiques with big debt.
