Corporate Warfare

Are you sick and tired of power hungry, big ego, out of touch people ruining the company you work for? Are you fed up with having money taken out of your pocket to make the rich even richer? What can you do about it?

Here is a tactic that may pay some dividends.

Write a letter to your top five shareholders. Explain to them what is wrong with your company and why.

Don't think they will listen? If you had millions invested in a company and disgruntled employees are complaining to you with facts on why their investment is under performing, wouldn't you listen?

You don't want to identify yourself in the letter because the employer will likely retaliate against you. Sign the letter as a concerned employee. Be genuine and stick to the facts. Stay away from name calling and write the letter intelligently.

The shareholder is THE boss. The CEO and Board of Directors must answer to this group of bosses. Keep them informed and it will help keep your senior leadership in line.
