Not been in many jobs have you obviously.
Here think of people in crypto when someone makes plausible comments about a coin failing. Now we have a 3rd topic on funding issues about Maidsafe. People employed in jobs are very sensitive about potential funding issues in a company. Instead of crypto trader who simply takes a hit, these employees are risking their house, family well being, etc if they remain in a failing company.
Please consider your words and realise even trying to help can sound like yelling fire in a theater
BTW your opening post came across as the management do not know the best thing to do with their financies and should listen to you. You may have been trying to help, but it can never come across that way when you do what you did in the opening post
EDIT: This post from the second topic might help your understanding
