Kontras
Backstabbing Employment Scheme - Laid off 115+ skilled Canadian telecom workers through a shady Ericsson deal to dodge accountability - Sold severance packages to Ericsson, then created a "no rehire" policy for recently transferred employees—a deliberate loophole to permanently dispose of experienced workers without honoring severance obligations - Forced us to train our own foreign replacements before being terminated Selling Out Canada's Security - Handed control of Canada's wireless network—including 911 systems, emergency alerts, and all customer communications—to workers in India outside Canadian legal oversight - Created vulnerabilities to eavesdropping, location tracking, service disruptions, and foreign surveillance of millions of Canadians - Contradicted Canada's ban on Huawei for security reasons by doing the exact same thing through offshore labor instead of equipment Toxic Political Cesspool - You must kiss management's feet to survive—skill, experience, and dedication mean nothing - Merit doesn't exist here; only political games and favoritism matter - Technical expertise gets you fired; bootlicking keeps you employed Catastrophic Incompetence - Two massive network failures (2021, 2022) disabled 911 services, banking, and government systems for millions - Now trusting those same entities to run operations remotely from overseas—what could go wrong? Zero Ethics or Loyalty - Destroyed Canadian jobs for cheaper labor with zero regard for workforce, customers, or national interest - Corporate greed prioritized over everything—security, ethics, employee welfare, and Canada's sovereignty
