What Unethical Practices you have seen in corporates?

These days, we can see that many employees falsely act that he is working but actually he is not. He does some other thing in the organisation which effects the productivity of the organisation...

More then gender, skin colour, religion the most common one is regional - My State my People attitude ♪♪♫

That's quite common in any corporates, specialy if it is India based company...

Satayam was the example: if you 've last name "Raju" you don't even have to face interview

its everywhere and you can't stop it.....

their are way: like no referals'...etc etc..

Incidents of overstated earnings, undisclosed conflicts of interest, and improper use of confidential information is also morally unacceptable.

My personal experience says this : The seniors give on their assigned work to their immediate juniors or the new joinee(well capable of the experienced senior) and after they complete their work successfully, the overall credit of the work is taken by the senior. And the upper seniors feel the work is completely done by the assigned personnel. I Swear, this discourages the juniors and to greater extent reason for quiting the job too.  ....

After gradutation,they are educated in consultancy companies about 1-2 year,learn the rules of fakes then they placed managerial positions and work in cooperation with consultation companies that recruited them specially in Multinational companies. And when they finished their fake period usually migrate 3rd countries in NAmerica or Oceanias.

Ethics -is very subjective word.

find solution to encourage " learn while earn "

your kid studying in USA working part time in restaurant or mall is ethical

I would say the most prevailent is displaying favoratism among employees or sub ordinates and not recognising the true potential of everyone.

In some medium corporates the Employers are not treating their Employees according to their designation whereby an Engineering or MBA Graduate is asked to do even a helper or a labour kind of a job which frustrates that employee and it is also a demotivating factor for him.

Another kind of an unethical practice is getting the job more than a prescribed time. For eg. according to the company norms 8hrs is the normal work timings whereby some employers are sucking the employees blood by urging them to do the 3 days work in a single day at any cost.

Another kind of an unethical practice is, not giving the salary in time even if the company is running in a profitable manner.

How about salary terms in contracts (they are called contracts as per Indian law as far as I know) that include CTC - PPF contribution of employer, gratuity?

How about not reporting/paying overtime, double shift compensation?

How about forcing employees to resign when there is less business?

How about not paying PPF deductions into PPF account monthly?

How about paying salaries after 5th (law says must be paid by 5th of the month)?

How about withholding pay (esp. final pay) by more than 30 days?

How about computing pay for employees on 30 days basis (law says 22 or 26 days as per number of working days only)?

Referal method of head hunting was invented so that the company can avoid paying fees to the agents. Instead some compensation is paid to the Refree. This is often misused in the companies. The person referring talks to the recruitment team/HR to get his friend into the company without any major interview or processing.

These people get to move across companies without being noticed as their resumes are never updated in the database(NSR might help).

Reduces oppertunities for the other more capable people.

The employees exit the company illegally without mentioning and especially the freshers who join leave the company just after training breaching the contract.

Unethical practices includes low self esteemed employees, who try to impress the managers with personal involvement like assisting the managers families with day to day matters. Needless to say, many of my friends must have seen it happening in their corporate surroundings.  Such low self esteemed employees try to  degrade the self respect of sincere employees and the ultimate result is loss of productivity. On the other hand,  management is unethical when it encourages such employees who acts as spys to management to gain their temperory personal benefits.

On the other hand, lackof appreciation and recognition of employees performance from management  is one of the most destructive unethical practices, i have ever experiences. This surely makes an employee discouraged and unproductive towards his work.

Most of the unethical practices are intangible, like communication process between managment and the employees,groupism, racism, male and female differences.

Lets have more perspectives from our friends.

Castism is also unethical practice I had really very bad experience recently.

regarding theis matter i want to say all surrond created work mathod

When an individual thinks himself greater/important than the Organisation the trend of unethical practices steps into the Organisation. This as per my experience starts from the higher level and stops way down below. We as humans are victims of this unethical practice because of emotions,attachments will our close ones which then lead us or I should say compel us to practice this.Thus if we think that We are because of the Organisation and not that the Organisation is because of us,i think this practice can stop.

They do have accountabilities and axe of performance hanging on them.

There are way too many for me to list these. 

one of the main concern in corporates is lack of trade union/associations and collective bargaining which impacts on the working environment and working conditions like over load of work, working over time, less provisions for either presenting or representing the labour/working class issues including the grievances with the management.

thank you for referral

In recent past we all have experienced it, one of the common ill-practice is to change company policies once employed find out how to make most out of it or these change have been so frequent at time they have ruined complete culture of some corporates by effecting their iteration rate & stress level of employees.  

Generally,Unethical practices in corporates are commonly related to the topmanagment authorities who makes or breaks rules.

Its been generally observed and studied by corporate consultants that when people leave the company, they actually leave their manager. This is one of the simple example of the effect of some of the  some of the unethical practices   being practiced. Racism, favouritism, egoistic attitudes, misuse of  facilities, inhuman practices are some of the fundamental unethical practices which, if continued long takes companies upto the extent of results experienced by Satyam or any other group which is going to be in disaster soon

I focussed on some fundamental issues,and I would like to have more broad perspectives from our other friends too..

thanks
