sharing

As a consultant friend of mine always says , its time to think again ...

Employees are paid to do a job. They get paid a salary, an amount equal to the task to be perform in terms of know-how, skills, responsibility, accountability etc. Of course then, some are paid more than others.

Sometimes, the company even trains the employee first because they don't have the skills then takes care of them, pays their medical bills ( and their family members too ), reimburses them for all their expenses incurred in doing the job, gives them allowances, even provides shirts, pants & shoes, makes sure they have a place to eat at work ... employees are commensurated for whatever effort that is asked from them and sometimes a little bit more.

In some case, the individual that is hired performs well in doing their assigned tasks while in other cases they don't deliver results & don't meet expectations.

Overall, the company does good ( not great ) and makes a decent profit and a little bit more ...

The owner of the company agrees to share " the little bit more "

Does he share it equally with every employee ?
Does he share it only with employees from departments that contributed to the profit ?
Does he share it only with employees that have performed above average and not the average or non performers ?
Does he share it only with those that have been loyal to him ?
Does he share it only with those that have been working long with him ?
Does he share it only with employees that matters, and that if these employees leave the company, he would not have a business ?
Does he share it only with those that he had committed to, by saying that if the company makes a profit, he will share it with them or all of them regardless ?
Does he share it with all employees based on their monthly salary that he pays them ?
Does he share it with his other shareholders ?
Does he share it with his company directors ?
Does he share it by investing it back in the company to make sure the business grows ?
Does he share it by investing it back in the company for the welfare of the staff ?
Does he share it with the customer who gave him the business in the first place ?
Does he share it by contributing to a worthwhile & charitable cause as part of his obligation to society ? after all there are a lot of flood victims that he could help ...

or

Does he invest in his salvation and donate it all to a " GODly " cause ?

Never realised that sharing could be so difficult ...

I’ll demand “justice” but will accept “fairness” at the end. May God guidance be with you.

9:58 "Dan di antara mereka ada orang yang mencelamu tentang (pembagian) zakat/sedekah; jika mereka diberi sebahagian daripadanya, mereka bersenang hati, dan jika mereka tidak diberi sebahagian daripadanya, dengan serta merta mereka menjadi marah."

9:59 "Jika mereka sungguh-sungguh rida dengan apa yang diberikan Allah dan Rasul-Nya kepada mereka, dan berkata: ""Cukuplah Allah bagi kami, Allah akan memberikan kepada kami sebahagian dari karunia-Nya dan demikian (pula) Rasul-Nya, sesungguhnya kami adalah orang-orang yang berharap kepada Allah"", (tentulah yang demikian itu lebih baik bagi mereka)."
