IMHO, any employee who is opposed to the sale at a fair price should be fired. They work there, get a salary and should be thankful to the shareholders who provide the means/capital to finance the business.
When Uchumi collapsed, was it shareholders who pumped in majority of cash to revive it or was it the employees?
When the price of Safaricom fell to 3.50, did the employees take a paycut of 30%?
When KQ is falling, did the employees take a paycut to prop up the airline? NO, instead the management took bonuses, the staff got huge payrises & benefits via atwoli and the shareholders suffered.

Agreed VVS, but looking at the statement by 2012, it was vital to remind him that there are CEOs directors and majority owners of businesses who also run down their businesses.

I am happy for you that it has worked out to your benefit, in my case the same investment strategy has had my fingers and toes burnt... AK

From what I am seeing here, we need to start teaching financial and organization education in primary school as a core subject. On one hand staff are scared shitless for their jobs without knowing that essentially the organization is not shutting or scaling down operations. On the other hand, the actions are becoming very disruptive to the interests of their shareholders and the nuisance value of these actions is nevertheless very discounted. However the ramifications of this could be very painful to staff again it appears they don't seem to appreciate that.
