Cheating -- It's Apparently What's For Breakfast Now

Wrongdoers Feel a ‘Cheater’s High’ - At Work - WSJ: "Ever wonder why workers do things like pad their expense reports or commit even worse financial fraud?  Turns out that cheating, no matter how small, provides an immediate rush rather than remorse.

In a series of experiments, a team of researchers found that acts of dishonesty, theft and fraud seem to cause what they term a “cheater’s high.”

The researchers say that cheating may provide not only financial benefits but also ample psychological rewards which may motivate people to behave unethically. Indeed, a recent survey of 500 senior managers by a British whistleblower law firm found that a quarter of respondents saw unethical conduct as a key to success."

I'm sure it will work out well for all of us...
