when I think from a business perspective, viaan comes across as a total moron. this is a great example of a business management concept -- the fallacy of rewarding A while hoping for B.
what it means is rewarding bad behaviour while thinking good things (like increased productivity) will happen. so basically you have to relate good behaviour with carrots and not the other way around.
so what has viaan done?
#1 shamita and others like him now know that viaan is a gooey mess. all you have to do is cry and do a bechari act and he will forgive all sorts of bad behaviour including potential crimes. want to steal from the company? go ahead. just make sure you have your hankies ready when you get caught. viaan will give you some sort of all is well lecture and you will get off scot free.
in other words -- employees are free to indulge in bad behaviour because there are no consequences
#2 earthcon is not a safe workspace like viaan claims it to be. anyone can make allegations but there will be no appropriate consequences or punishment. you cannot complain about wrong doings because no action will be taken against that employee. instead, someone like shamita will get letter of recommendation as long as you can act bechari.
in other words -- your bechari level is important to how you survive in this company. 😳
#3 when it comes to clients like mr. abdali, it shows that viaan is too soft a leader and cannot make tough calls. this means dealing with someone like him is a liability.
in other words -- he just lost points in the market because he comes across as someone too afraid to prosecute an employee who hurt the company. what kind of business leader is afraid of taking tough decisions?
#4 when it comes to competition, viaan comes across as a pushover. he is too nice and so you can use all sorts of undercutting techniques and viaan will just take it.
in other words -- mr pyramid and others will try to take advantage because viaan is too soft and not shrewd. all you need to do is hit him in the heart and he will melt like puddle.
so while viaan thinks he is being mahaan, he has actually endagered himself as well as the company. 🤦
