After a period of observation, ex*****on and internal alignment, we Ahnaf Shahriar Rafi (Treasurer, YCS Khulna & Campaign Manager of “Zero Olympiad”), Appurbo Hasan Taj (President, YCS Khulna), and Shafin Sikder (Vice President, YCS Khulna) have made the collective decision to resign from YCS, effective immediately.
This decision reflects not a moment of frustration, but a conclusion drawn from consistent patterns.
During our tenure, we were entrusted with responsibilities that required structure, accountability and leadership clarity. While we remained committed to delivering outcomes, it became increasingly evident that the surrounding environment did not operate on the same standards.
Over time, several gaps became difficult to rationalize:
• Strategic direction that frequently shifted without alignment or measurable rationale
• Expectations that were communicated without the corresponding systems to support them
• A noticeable imbalance between authority and demonstrated competence at higher levels
• An organizational culture where contribution and recognition were not proportionate
• Recurring operational inefficiencies that were normalized rather than addressed
Individually, these may appear manageable. Collectively, they define a system that is not built for sustainable growth or credible ex*****on.
We believe that effective organizations are not defined by intent, but by discipline, clarity and the ability to translate vision into structured action. Unfortunately, that alignment was not present.
As professionals, we choose environments where accountability is mutual, leadership is demonstrated not assumed and impact is both understood and valued. Remaining in a system that consistently falls short of these fundamentals is not a responsible use of our time or capability.
This is, therefore, a decision made with clarity and without hesitation.
We acknowledge the experience gained, but we do not intend to continue within a framework that does not meet the standards required for meaningful work.
We move forward independently, with a clear understanding of what effective leadership and organizational integrity should look like.
— Ahnaf Shahriar Rafi - Treasurer
— Appurbo Hasan Taj - President
— Shafin Sikder - vice president
