Its amazing how some individuals of higher management can get away with almost anything.

For example, in Company X, higher management are renowned for, unethically, looking after their personal interests (justifying their existence, lucrative bonuses, ludicrous salaries), even if it means, getting rid of 'sacrificial cows' within the company.

A typical modus operandi would be;

1. set very ambitious, unrealistic goals at the beginning of the year.
2. When the performance after the 3rd quarter dips or is beyond their target (as expected by the rest of the company), drastic measures are taken. These measures are taken to ensure that the numbers match up to the predictions. The quickest and/or most commonly used avenue is labour.
3. In Company X, it is a common practice to sacrifice the staff, at random with detailed tests (designed by higher management with consultation of an obedient HR personnel) to specifically wean out individuals who are deemed to not fit into the culture or cronies. The tests are watertight to ensure that individuals have minimal chance of winning if they decide to take the company to court.

The unfortunate thing is that, no one, even the board of advisors, can do anything about it. However, in pursuit of their personal interests aka tamak, at all costs, they forget, that Allah sees all and eventually, they will reap what they sow, albeit in this world or the hereafter...
