I'm curious, why do people frown upon Nepotism?

OK... really, I know about posting threads just to see how long they go...but come on now.
:spank:

I strongly disagree with nepotism.....unless it is helping me. People who don't try to help their friends are strange.

I have often thought.........I wonder why nobody has had the courage to start a thread on nepotism??

You mean in the workplace?

Just the idea of someone getting passed over for a job because the boss decided to hire his brother or sister instead. Yeah, kinda obvious, that's pretty annoying.

Well in the workplace it is kind of interesting. They frown upon nepotism, yet connections and networks help drive the hiring and firing of jobs. Seems a bit hypocritical to me, personally.

Yeah, and actually I don't get why a manager would want to hire a family member (unless they truly were the best person for the job). A manager should want the best people possible working for him because their performance reflects upon the manager.

Well, now we know who is the most bravest of us all....... and of course, it will have some life.

Totally!

In Sadens defense..........it is the off-season

well the job i'm at right now came through a family friend. Same with the last one. I mean, i've benefitted from it so i won't be the one complaining. Connections are connections, the way i look at it.
