Multi Global Finance and Insurance Corporation (MGFCIC) was, by all accounts, a
model insurance company. Profits were strong and had been for several years in a row.
The company carried the highest ratings in its industry, and it had recently been voted one of
the Top100 companies to work in the Philippines in recognition of its “very employee-
focused work environment”. MGFIC offers very generous benefits: free lunches in the
cafeterias, on-site daycare facilities, and even free Starbucks Coffee in the employee break
rooms. In an industry that was still struggling with the massive claims after a succession of
typhoons and floods in the Philippines, MGFIC was financially stable and positioned to become
one of the major insurance companies in the country.
So, why were the CEO, Juan Paderez; the CFO, Lydia Sanchez; and the COO, Jose
Aquino, all fired on the same day with no explanation other than that the
terminations were related to issues of conduct?
