Summary: The company that goes by the name Sirius ‘Open Source’ perhaps feels like even employees are almost like volunteers or people to be (re)sold cheaply to rich clients for hard labour done overnight


Sirius ‘Open Source’


THE above video is a lot longer than expected, but it hopefully does capture some of the nature of my job (since February 2011). This year it got yet worse because a person with connections to management suggested lowering the salary of people who work night shifts — people who saw no increase in salary for well over a decade! The conflict of interest here goes further than this, but that’s a subject to be covered another day.

To make matters worse, one colleague who came from a foreign and relatively poor country was paid only 21,000 pounds per year (less than peers who do exactly the same role) for a technical overnight job despite having a Masters Degree and having a lot of experience (seniority). He lives near London, so this kind of salary is barely a living wage. Seems exploitative. Is the company milking technical people? █
