Hybrid Enterprise Cloud Storage

While Twisted Storage will focus on “storage for the 21st century enterprise”  it will never forget that behind every great idea or product are the people that make up Twisted Storage or are our customers. I have always believed in the “Golden Rule”:  one has a right to just treatment, and a responsibility to ensure justice for others.  It has been around since the time of ancient Egypt.  Today it is becoming an anachronism.

Companies treat employees like cogs – to be used and disposed of just like any other waste product.  Customers are collected and treated like milking cows – to be milked for their money.  Even within the corporate environment the rule was tossed aside: the top management made sure they were given big salaries and bonuses while their companies tumbled and their employees suffered layoffs. The companies exist solely to advance their cause of making money and adding very little else to the community of humanity.

Twisted Storage has decided that one of the foundations of the company is to make the Golden Rule core to the operation of the company.   It will affect every aspect of the company  from the products it develops to the companies that become our customers and to the people that make Twisted Storage its work place.

If you are a customer,we will stand behind what we build and deliver. We won’t point fingers, we won’t shrug our shoulders and we won’t make excuses.   We will work with you to decide what the problem is,  how to solve it and do it! If you ever are unsatisfied you can always contact me. We want you to be successful knowing that if you are we will too.

If you are applying for a job, a real person will contact you and become your guide as you navigate the process.  While I won’t guarantee you will be hired I will tell you that if you are ever dissatisfied with the process, I want to hear about it personally!

I’m sure you’ve heard the stories about the companies that fire the bottom 5 or 10% of their employees. If you haven’t the story goes like this: you are hired by a company and if you fall in the bottom 5 or 10% you are fired. This takes place every so often.  Personally I don’t know what idiot came up with that scheme, but it is so stupid it leaves me speechless.  What I will tell you is that if you are an employee we will work with you to make you useful and productive.

Because we are members of the community of humans that occupy this planet, we can’t escape our other responsibilities to those around us that aren’t directly in Twisted Storage or use our products.  We pledge to take 10% of every sale and invest that money in people around us. 5% of the money will go to food pantries and housing projects.  The other 5% will go to environmental and other  non-profits and open source projects. If you are a customer, let us know what charities interests you and we will make sure it is added to our list.

I’m sure by now you are getting an idea that we aren’t just about technology. We are a company of people and a member of the community of humans.  We occupy this earth, and it is the only one we know about. So we want to make sure it is well tendered; after all we are just the guardians of our children’s legacy.
