CEO Gives Power-Hungry Daughter A Taste Of The Real World After She Bans Janitors’ Lunch Break
Nepotism is considered by many to be a bad thing. Though the idea of hiring family, friends or straight up anyone without regard for the proper channels is contextual and can thus be justified based on the circumstances.
But how can you defend hiring your daughter who not long after coming on board starts channeling the things most employees hate about management? Well, you maliciously comply with it. And then you let fate take its course and the downfall begins.
More often than not, nepotism turns out for the worst, but it doesn’t have to be the case

In particular, she changed some policies that took away janitor lunch breaks—something that came around to bite her right back

Redditor u/sgy0003 shared a story of how his uncle plotted the demise of one particularly nasty hire. Apparently, she was the daughter of the CEO of the company they worked at. Soon after being hired for a role that’s hierarchically higher than that of the uncle, she started making policy changes. And that rubbed some people the wrong way.
Long story short, she effectively stripped the janitorial staff of their lunch break. OP’s uncle was supposed to break this news, but he protested. So, the new hire whipped out the “nepo baby” card, saying if he has problems, he can take it up with daddy.
And so he did. But not before lowkey instigating a strike. Because he was genuinely a very nice and sociable guy, he used this to organize a strike to get the CEO’s attention. And once he got it, he slipped him the policy, signed by his daughter. She was subsequently demoted. To junior janitorial duty.
If done right, nepotism can turn out to be an overall positive thing for a business

It goes without saying that nepotism works against a business than it does for it: it fosters an environment of resentment and discontent, there’s always a risk of unsuitable hires (which means a waste of everything), and there’s corruption and a sense of entitlement—as seen in the Reddit story.
However, some businesses work better on the basis of who you know, not what you know. Networking is a normal part of these industries and sometimes striking a deal with someone you know and not dealing with the usual red tape might just be better.
Speaking of which, the hiring process is simplified this way as you can forgo both interviews and test tasks based on how well you know a person. And the more you know, the better the collaboration might end up being. Both of these can entail a faster development of the business in many ways.
Lastly, family businesses pretty much work based on nepotism. All you have to hope for is that they don’t all get super entitled. Though, it’s more likely that entitlement won’t lead to much business development and family businesses heavily rely on that.
Anywho, what are your thoughts on any of this? Share your takes and stories in the comment section below! And if you need more tales of nepotism, then look no further.

True or not, this is why anybody standing to inherit a significant amount of money should be required to live as a middle class citizen for 5 years before they're allowed to inherit anything. They cannot touch their parents money or use any of their parents contacts. They have to live like a lower middle class person and learn how to survive like that.
