Innovations in Corruption ... contd

And I realize that many are innovative in cheating the system. Here a few, that I came across.

The supplies to a particular product used to be in great volumes and the suppliers would need a fork lift in the goods inwards area to deliver from the truck. Typically we provide the services of the fork lift. The ‘strict’ and ‘idealistic’ suppliers may have to wait for the fork lift operators to go and fetch the forklift and it takes time as they are busy. Even if the fork lift operator is available, suddenly the pallets are not available!! And the guys at that level are so innovative; the ‘resourceful’ supplier gets the fork lift and the pallets immediately. The guys share the money then and there! When this was cracked, they started entering code words in their pocket books and then ‘manage’ outside the premises. And the forklift would start, again only for the 'resourceful' suppliers who would pay. Else the forklift does not start !! Can we do something? The suppliers were requested to bring to the notice of management if they face these issues and I was told that it stopped altogether now.
