East (or) west flight is best.

A particular gentleman had the habit of leaving the process facility suddenly, in a hurry, and this was noticed by the facility personnel on many occasions.

Initially they thought about it as of no significance. Then one day a brighter one among the dim-wits spotted a coincidence and told his friends to carefully observe the next time whenever the particular gentleman leaves the work spot hurriedly. Now many pairs of eyes were watching to confirm the coincidence.

After a month long vigil and cataloguing of the events they came to this weighty conclusion:
This particular gentleman was nervous to come face to face with a Task master and whenever the Boss arrived at the East entrance the particular gentleman took off through the West entrance to avoid being cornered and  managed to escape every time .

Years rolled by. The Task master got transferred to become a “nobody” and the escape artist managed to become “somebody” in the setup.
