Loophole


Employee Ravi sees a loophole. (अगर ये काम करूँगा तो फायदा है , और ये पूरी तरह गलत भी नहीं है )
His mind wavers to analyze the benefits of using the loophole against the risk involved.
He checks around to see if any ones watching. He becomes more alert. (सतर्क aur चौकन्ना )
Adrenaline rush begins. He has a sense of excitement (रोमांच) and fun (मज़ा) just by thought of using the loophole.
Then just for the sake of adventure he goes ahead.
He gets a small benefit but a huge sense of achievement comes along.
He wants to tell everyone, boast about it but he can’t else the window of loophole closes.
He keeps shut does the same thing again. Results similar but this time the marginal gain (achievement, excitement, returns) are much lesser. This continues for some more time till the use of the loophole becomes a mundane(=> आदत हो जाती है) day to day activity.
At this point of time Ravi needs some motivation, something more, something different(कुछ और , कुछ नया ). He THINKS through, EXPLORES the system furthermore.
This activity helps his thought process and also his understanding of system. The curiosity to discover the loopholes drives him.
He succeeds finds a new one…………………….
Loophole has created Motivation, Thrill, Excitement, Alertness, Achievement, QuestForKnowledge, and ThoughtProcess.
Imagine a Series of events initiated by a person.. Who actually cheat and beat the system in front of everyone... And no one’s actually objected.. So he did more...n more... And found out that... It’s not he but the company who is cheating them with the candies of loopholes
Consider this from a company point of view. This will be the best Employee motivational tool in the future (if this is not already in Practice).
Many Ravi’s get motivated by loopholes, why not feed them with the same ---They r satisfied
And performing better

Moral:
There's a Ravi in everyone.. You just have to find it-- and feed it with his set of loopholes :)

Note: Ravi is the name of the person who helped write this article. Actually he is very ethical and against any usage of flaws in System.

Spitting image of my everyday work...

But yes, finding loop holes becomes mundane activity after some time, and one begins thinking whether he have a special skill or was too nerd to miss such loop holes till now.

Character Ravi is indistinguishable from Ants when it comes to work ethics and as per official grapevines, he had already started a family with a gujju queen ant.
