Bonum Certa Men Certa

When the Employer Doesn't Grasp the Simple Fact That Lies Come Back at You (and Lying to Clients or Staff is a Very Bad Idea)

Summary: The Sirius 'Open Source' CEO built his repertoire on lies; technical staff did antagonise these lies, but it did not help; today I show how he lied about what had initiated his "investigation" and the company lied about his predecessor, too (they've managed to 'normalise' deceit all across the board)

THE company I left last month is a lot dodgier than I had realised (from within). We shall see where the shells go... US? Another residential address in the UK? How far does the nepotism go and can any Sirius worker be honest about what's going on? A company that is honest to staff and to clients doesn't have such issues; it doesn't need to hide lots of skeletons in a closet. Just be honest and consistency will follow (as opposed to shuffling excuses and phony timelines).



A lot went wrong with the company when the CEO took money from the Gates Foundation under an NDA; proving a correlation is hard, but things have never been the same. The bullying against my wife and I started only weeks later (same time I was investigating extremely damning things about Bill Gates).

"That article shows how the CEO was stalking IRC and when he saw a name mentioned he decided to use that as a sort of pretext (to make it seem like a client had complained)."The video above focuses on one rather obvious example of lying. It starts with me showing our Cisco phone (now obsolete) and lousy copy-paste job by the CEO, in effect reusing accusations against two different people. Towards the end it shows the latest meme and article. That article shows how the CEO was stalking IRC and when he saw a name mentioned he decided to use that as a sort of pretext (to make it seem like a client had complained). He not only used this unrelated mention to allege somebody had complained; he took it further than this to do the same to my wife. But I spoke to the person in question. The person did not complain. The CEO of Sirius is lying. The company is basically built on a thick layer of lies.

To conclude the video, it's worth mentioning that the 'original' terrible manager (not the wife of the CEO, who was the predecessor, but a former colleague of his from the Open Source Consortium) already damaged the morale of all the staff. Many left weeks/months later and those who stayed were suffering abuse. We've mentioned it many times, as that is how things deteriorated 4 years ago, but we need to emphasise it again.

"We've mentioned it many times, as that is how things deteriorated 4 years ago, but we need to emphasise it again."The company said that she went away for a long holiday and then silence... she would never come back. How mysterious. That was a lie. Months passed and not a word was spoken; then one of the colleagues, who had suffered abuse from her, asked if she is ever coming back. The rest of us also wondered, "Where is she? Is she still on a holiday?"

The company didn't even bother to reply. She just vanished without a trace... good riddance. But why lie about her going on holiday? This wasn't the only time colleagues were just vanishing without an explanation. We gave examples last month. In short, the predecessor and the current CEO are the same awful imposters, only the gender has changed, and some of the workers might say the current one is even worse. Worst ever.
