Lonely are the Brave

As I promised, there will be lots of plagiarism and bootlegging in my blog. I must therefore give acknowledgement and convey my gratitude and thanks to YB Dato' Mukhriz Mahathir for his very infamous letter. I've used it, tweak it, twist it to the tone of an employee grievance. Take this with a pinch of salt though folks.

Dear Highly Respected Board Members and Top Management

Let me take this opportunity to thank you and the management’s leadership for the faith in me and the chance to be a part of this once great corporation. With the blessing and hard work of some of our company’s management team and machinery as well as my fellow colleagues, I have been able to discharge my duties to the best of my ability.

However, sadly enough, my contribution is rendered meaningless in view of the poor management and lack of leadership of some Board Members and Senior Management.

In fact this has never happened in the history of our Organization before.

The sole intention of my letter to you is meant to save our Company from being brought down further and from being no longer relevant in our line of business, industry and to our nation.

The employees are unhappy and the message from them is very clear, and that is they have doubts and distrust some of the board members and top management as their leaders..

Contrary to your claim that you still have the support of employees and shareholders, the reality is that even our own middle management and stakeholders like clients and customers had reneged in their trust and believe in your leadership capabilities by supporting competitors and inflicting our company a further financial loss.

I wish our employees can be given the same rights to show their unhappiness and choice of leadership through the ballot boxes.

For if this happen, you will definitely see some board members and top management being voted out of our company.

It is therefore clear that your leadership and your handling of the issues faced by the employees and our company are no longer accepted. Let’s not deny the truth just for the sake of keeping your seat on Board.

For the love of our company and its employees, I beg that you take responsibility for the poor performance of our company. We can save our Company only if you relinquish your positions as members of the board and top management..

Members of the Board and top management, I hope you will understand that I make this plea with the intention of salvaging a very dire situation. A move has been made to woo many of our top talents to join the competitors.

If you do not resign in the near future, I fear that the situation will become untenable and our Company will be unsalvageable.

This plea I make without malice, and I am aware that your reaction and that of other Board members could very well be hostile.

But come what may, I am prepared, for the sake of our Company and our employees, to face the consequences of my action. With all humility, I leave my fate to Allah SWT.

I am sure that you will do the right thing for the sake of our employees and our Company.. May Allah SWT bless you for the sacrifice you make by stepping down.

Wasallam

Yours Sincerely

Employee Bin Mahader
