ROI????!!!!!!!


Hi all... a new day.. a new week... but I want to tell about last week's tale... he he he...


A friend from my old work place sent me smses telling about an audit they did for their cooperative stores... It goes like this...


The cooperative stores were just dust on the floors with nobody bothered to even take a quick glance... A few colleagues and I build up the stores, merchandised and set up the business from scratch.. from the dust on the floor into 2 convenient stores, 1 laundromart, 1 printing store, and we bought washing machines and dryer for the laundromart, gondolas, cash machines and racks for the convenient stores and merchandised all of them the best that we can with the help and trust of all the suppliers out there... We had good, in fact great rapport with them... We managed the stores and even bought a van for the cooperative store as well... I left that hellish place last year, July 2008 and left the stores to engineers and business "savvy"!!!!?????? people to handle... So that is the background of the story...


The audit report came in last week, and it shows that the stores has lost... And they blamed me for it... How convenient! Blame the person who's not there... When I was there, I BEGGED for help to manage the stores, but nobody responded... I run the stores the best I can with the help of some inexperienced staff!!!!! And now, the report showed some lost and they blame me... Let me ask you, is there any business of two years of lifespan gain profit within the first FIVE years of operation????? Crazy la they all ni....


What's so amusing is, they do not know the meaning of the ratios... Example... ROI.. return on investment.. they DO NOT KNOW what that mean.... Ha ha ha ha... business savvy aeeehhhh???? I made a lot of investments on properties and store needs to run the business smoothly, it is up to them to operate the stores sufficiently to make profit... We also ordered some inventories for them, but they didn't encourage their students to purchase them from the stores, now, who is there to blame as well??? THEY ASKED US TO GET THE STUFF FOR THE STUDENTS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!! STUPID A_ _ H_L_....


I really want to know next year's audit report... I want to see how they pull out from the MESS they said I made... They didn't remember the day I begged for help, but when they have to carry the burden I carried, they look for the black sheep to finger point the blame...


Putting my frustrations aside, I hope the best for those people... Allah knows what I did and what they did... I worked as hard as I can, and I do hope they are honest with their effort as well... I hope Allah will guide and help them as well, in what ever they do....


I forgave and I forgive them for slandering me... May Allah accept my repentance until the day I die and keep me out of hell fire... Amin..
