For me this is where Employees need a break, with pay. And to ensure that I think the HR should teach his employees in a proper way, how to escape from the jaws of demands that company poses. The tool for this is Ethical Misconduct. This is purely my concept which I want to develop, Just go through this and let me know what you feel.

Ethical Misconduct

Day in and day out, we as ordinary human beings move in and out of many social groups, enjoying few acquaintances, leaving few obligations, performing some ventures and keeping stand-by, many works, that we think, we can not perform on time. The concept that I am starting here is about an effective way of keeping your pending works pending and not performing those, that you have to, for as long as you want, with out being blamed for it. But the reason for keeping the work pending should be genuine and the technique may be used only as the final way out of a problematic situation. This is what I want to call as ETHICAL MISCONDUCT.

The concept comes from the practicality of your lives, in which you had to lie so many times to your boss, for not being able to few things in time. And the case is further complicated if suppose you have to answer to multiple bosses with different styles of management, demanding work from you simultaneously. Not to mention any problems that you have had over your career spanning so many years as student, professional, etc., whatever it may be. Recollect, you told so many lies. But for How many of those do you feel guilty, of lying, and for how many of those you are not? Ask any one, you would get an answer that the later are more, because, the lies that they muttered are not harming any one. So point number one is

‘Are your lies or actions harming any one? ‘

Then, that is not all, though as I said earlier, the answer is that, they are not guilty many times. But no one dares to confess that he was never guilty. This is because; they never had a genuine reason, to commit a mistake in the given instance. Hence this makes it the second point that,

‘Do you have a valid reason to commit what you want to? ‘

After coming to a decision at this point it would be wrong to judge that any thing is fine done, if one has a valid answer for the above two questions that were put on board. Just ask yourself, one more question,

‘Are you really sure, you will never feel guilty for what you are doing now, in your future? ‘

The first two questions are easily answered by all, but the difficulty arises in answering the third and the last. Most people tend to have a dilemma on whom to prefer, which group to prefer, to whom should I favor, and many more puzzling questions to answer one little question, rather a paradox, if I can say so. Here comes the importance of,

‘Learning whom to put first, and how to rank or prioritize problems.’

There is no training manual which can help any body, to decide who is important to them. It is purely personal and is learnt only by ‘SELF REFLECTION’.

All that I say in this article is, to just ask yourself the questions that I have posed, to avoid bad thoughts and bad times, and everything which is bad, particularly, anxiety and mental tension. See for yourself, the change that you have, after going through this exercise.

hi Vinay,
Thanx for the write up u sent. to be honest i didn't consider the whole thing from the ethical point of view. i was only considering the whole issue from the angle of quality and quantity of work. thanks showing this dimension.
