This is what happens when the reward culture does not match reality. In school, every time you value grades over learning, you foster a classroom of cheaters.

This is what happens when the reward culture does not match reality. In school, every time you value grades over learning, you foster a classroom of cheaters.
The company is looking for cheater types because:
1) they clearly can't cope with employees telling the truth, that is, there are priorities other than work.
2) they reward looking busy over being productive.

So it may be rational for the firm (at least in the short term) to encourage this cheater culture -- it's the clients they are cheating, not the firm.
- loup-vaillant 12y agoIn this case, they should tell their consultants how to… "communicate" with the client. They want cheaters? Then cheating the client should be part of the contract. Except, well… that might be illegal.
- learnstats2 12y agoExactly. Show, don't tell. Telling people to cheat the client is illegal and unethical, but creating a culture where people behave in that way is only unethical.
