Satyam and aSathyam : SAVE Satyam

I am not attempting any post-mortem on Satyam. That's all experts' job. I am just thinking LOUD on how to save Satyam !
But I heard our Government is going to put a lot of money to save Satyam. The reason being, it's the case of 53000 people's employment !

Oh... why are these people thinking so illogical, cruel, and stupid ? Why are they trying to misuse the poor-man's money to save the richest of all Indians ? NO... NO... please don't spend a paisa from the treasury to save this 'Satyam'.
Then who and how to save Satyam ? That's very logical and clear question . Maybe, the following would give some clues.

Who built Satyam ?
I can hear 53000 loud voices .... "we built it". OK agreed !

Who killed Satyam ?
I can hear 0 db voices from a few Satyam employees (big guys !)... "yes I have been a party to it ..."

Who can save Satyam now ?
Again, I hear 53000 voices ... "Government should save ...".

Dear Satyamites, Government should certainly help you and Satyam. With certain policy decisions and management of the company. But, NOT with the public money. Not even a paisa can be given to Satyam, or you 53000 employees. The poorman's treasury can't do that.
You should not forget that you are the richest 53000 in India. Then how do you expect the poor man to fund you for making you richer ? Sorry, that's not possible. We, poor Indians, will not allow that misuse of public money.

Then, who will help you ? YOU and only YOU can help yourself and save Satyam. I'll tell you what you can do.

1. Zero salary employment (sounds good !). Yes, accept with immdediate effect, to work without salary for some period. { may be till Satyam recovers to pay you }.

2. Implement "Return Bonus" (again sounds good ?) . That's exactly (as you guessed it right) paying Satyam a bonus. You must have had a number of heavy bonuses from Satyam. Now, it's your turn to save yourself by returning a part of it to save Satyam. Pay a month's salary amount as return bonus to Satyam. Pay that as many monthly times as the number of years you have served there. {eg. If you have 5 years service, return 5 months' salary }.

3. Don't desert Satyam and leave off. Be there until Satyam recovers. Put your best efforts and make the best of you there. Your attempt to hop over is like killing your mother. So, don't do it please !

So, dear Satyamites, please accept my suggestions, OR better it please with your ideas.

Wishing you all the best.
