Is it okay to benefit from nepotism?

[Ed Anger]

No, of course not.  You will never have any cred with fellow-employees, and so never any real authority or respect.  Best to get a job, even at a lower level, that allows you to hold up your head and at least have a chance to earn some respect from co-workers.

And that is how Grumbler became a new man in Rome.

[Admiral Yi]

It is not OK.  It would take a substantial amount of money to assuage my guilt at accepting a position won through nepotism.

[garbon]

No, of course not.  You will never have any cred with fellow-employees, and so never any real authority or respect.  Best to get a job, even at a lower level, that allows you to hold up your head and at least have a chance to earn some respect from co-workers.

Who cares what your fellow employees think? Hopefully it is just a stepping stone to something else anyway. You aren't there to make friends.

[grumbler]

Yeah what if you are their one accountant or lawyer or whatever in their small business?

I'm not sure what you are asking.  If this is a family business, then the owners hiring family isn't nepotism at all, in my book.  It may be that we are just defining the concept differently.

As long as you don't intend to work in the field, it probably doesn't matter that your fellow-employees think you are a cunt.  If you want to work in a field, though, your cuntiness will count against you if any former fellow-workers are employees at a place where you are "stepping" to.  If your attitude is "who cares what my fellow-humans think of me," though, you've got bigger problems that likely will preclude you having any career success no matter how you got your current job, so the nepotism would be moot.

Depends if it's me or not. 

If me, yes.  If not me, vote amended accordingly.

Life is hard enough as it is to go around passing on good opportunities.

You are hardly a cunt because you used connections to get a job.

No but that's a moral judgement. Fuck morals.

What if your attitude is "I'm going to prove myself to my coworkers that I belong here!"?

It's how you got there.

[CountDeMoney]

You mean, like Veterans Preference Points?

[11B4V]

Not nepotism.

[Monoriu]

It is not ok for others to benefit from nepotism, but ok for me
