Nepotism and working with it
Discussion
Following the sale of my previous firm due to ill health I have been TUPED to a new firm...
This firm is truly Nepotism central, and about the worst I have ever had to deal with.
They have no HR dept as, Im told, "its all outsourced now" and if you are not part of the inner circle, you are finished...
Im working on the basis that this is a busted flush, despite how non legal it is in reality....
Any way of making this work chaps ?
Currently have applications ongoing with a few others for the record....

Worked in a place like that a few years ago. Mothers in management position getting their Kevin and Perry like kids in. Most of whom had zero interest or experience a few had never had a job before, usually straight out of school. Then a few weeks down the line they messed up a simple sale or was rude to a client on the phone.
The mother would be up to the senior managers office effing and blinding as to why her wee poppet was getting a telling off and blaming a lack of training for her sons lack of basic maths skills. When it gets to a point were you have to stand over them and watch them like a hawk, they become a liability.
My advice is treat them like any other employee, they don't get special treatment it's a workplace not a creche. People brought in simply on the basis of nepotism always get found out if they aren't up to the job despite the amount of excuses their relatives come up with.

No, it won't work, get out.......
I knew i'd have to leave my former employer pretty soon, one of the 2 active directors retired, the other was 3 years from retirement, his 18 yr old son and 21 yr old daughter (both at uni) were inactive directors, and it was inevitable that they'd come swanning in to run the place with zero experience, it's bad enough working with young graduates who think you're a pleb, but working for them? nah, f**k that.........
