The Board of Directors of Beating-Arose Ltd, of which I am a share holder informed me today by means of postal correspondence of their intention to appoint Mr. Sun-naiyo Khoobayyashi as a Damaging Director. Further, they politely averred to a side-effect this would have on my dividend in the forthcoming years, since this appointment would entail redirecting a fraction of profits (a figure with lots of zeroes) towards Mr. SK’s remuneration. Now, why pray did this Goliath corporation take pains to inform a non-entity like me… well, apparently, as a share holder my consent is sought for the appointment.
Now, my comments/grievances to Beating-Arose Ltd are as follows:
1. My consent?? Hah! Really! Wait, let me get this straight… given the fact that I own 0.000000000000001% of the equity, how much voting prowess does that convert into? Er, does it give me say a right to veto??
2. I’m a share-holder dammit! (albeit a microscopically tiny share-holder)…. you are supposed to make me feel good. And honestly, don’t know what your market analysts have been telling you… but, informing me of this Big-Wig chap who’s Professional Tax contribution is greater than my gross annual income does NOT boost my morale.
3. Er, all those expenses you incur buying paper, toner cartridges, envelopes, not to mention boosting the profits of DheereChal Courier company trying to get this information to the homes of “significant” share holders like me… would it be too much to ask you NOT to do that, and divert the same to my annual dividend?
4. Suggestion… er, can we NOT recruit Mr. Big-Wig and outsource this position to a person from a fifth-world nation at one-zillionth the cost??
5. No wait… thats all for now!
ps. If you’ve recognized the true identity of Beating-Arose Ltd or Mr. Sun-naiyo Khoobayyashi, pls don’t do my chugli… I honestly want to retain my Share-Holdership. BA or Mr. SK, if you happen to read this (yeah right!)… but if you do, no Hard Feelings meant, cross my heart!
Heck, if one can’t register a winning vote, one must atleast crib!
