Opportunistic behavior

Opportunistic behavior refers to actions taken by individuals or groups to gain an advantage or benefit, often at the expense of others or without regard for ethical considerations. In various contexts, such as business or economics, this behavior can involve exploiting situations, taking advantage of loopholes, or prioritizing personal gain over collective interests. Essentially, it’s about seizing opportunities, sometimes in a self-serving manner, that may not align with fair practices or mutual benefit. While not inherently negative, it can lead to distrust and issues in relationships or markets.
