Bribe despite completing job 100% ontime as per specs
I worked for a print company few years back. We won a tender with Maharashtra Election Commission fair n square to print entire state's electoral ballot records. This was almost 40000 books of 515 pages each. These books had information of every voter in the state across its 35 electoral constituencies.
Despite completing entire job exactly as per the tender specs and delivering it across all 35 electoral offices 100% ontime, we had to pay a bribe of close to 10 lacs in order to get our final payment. WHY did I break my team's back in working day and night to co this ontime. Why cwas I so foolish to take great pains deploying additional quality measures to ensure the job is defect free! Why am I so helpless!
