CEO, that the existing CEO will be in charge of the company & no people unless someone isdishonest will lose job. CEO should help him to reorganize the company.But within few weeks in contrary to his commitment the Chairman, handpicked two of his trustedpersons and appointed them as Managing Director & AGM Finance Sputnik. The ManagingDirector was a retired high official of Army with no clue about business environment. The AGMFinance was a foreign educated Bangladeshi with very limited industry exposure. Both of themwere fully dependent on the wish & will of the chairman. However while appointing this new MD,the chairman again assured the existing CEO that this MD position is an ornamental positionwith no operational authority. Hence nothing changes with this new appointment of MD, ratherthe operational responsibility of the whole show remains with CEO.Opposing to what being said by the chairman, just after joining both the new MD & AGM financeteamed up to find faults of the existing employees of Sputnik Pharma and started taking punitivemeasures bypassing the CEO. As result despite repeated verbal assurance of the Chairman &CEO in one hand good performers of Sputnik started leaving the company, on the other handpoor & average performers, took the strategy of making the new management happy not withwork but providing them sweet talks and backbiting sort of information. Soon the wholecompany turned into good breeding ground of gossips, rumors & fightsSoon the MD started feeling that the AGM Finance, appointed by Chairman along with him wasnot competent enough, hence he asked the chairman to have a more experienced Financeperson on top of the AGM and finally he got the positive nod from the Chairman to recruit oneDGM.

On 3rd day there was a scheduled meeting that was called by MD weekbefore, in which the AGM could not join being absent in office. Upset with the absence of AGM,after the meeting the MD sent out mail to AGM finance asking for explanation why he missedsuch an important meeting that was planned much earlier.Within an hour the MD got an one liner answer from AGM Finance, that says "Dear Sir, I will notbe coming to office, please terminate me with immediate effect and let me know by email" Background:Sputnik Pharma, a MNC Pharmaceuticals Company of Bangladesh, majority stake of which waswith foreign investors has been struggling since it came to the market in 2009.
