Corporations have - and rightfully too - one purpose in the entire duration of their existence: be consistently successful. Since most corporations are money-making ventures - and their capitalists unendearing scrooges - as long as they are successful at making more and more money, their appetites remain quenched. Between the pits of their commercial bowels and their highly appealing customer fronts - undoubtedly the symbolic lips ready to gobble down royalties - hang in balance the fates of all types of employees - benevolent ones, evil ones, well-meaning ones, scheming ones, and so on.

Corporations have generally become aware of the fact that today their motives can no longer be hidden behind a fable of corporate propaganda, but are rather transparent to the components driving their businesses. This is a fact that Maldivian businesses should take into account: gradually the Maldivian community is going to realize what corporate responsibility really means. I for one am hell-bent on generating this awareness as rapidly as I as an individual can - starting with the big hunchos in our corporate world at the moment!

Note: this post is meant to convey to a certain CFO the precarious position he has lodged himself into by sacking one of his employees in the recent days!
