Peter's Principle notwithstanding, doing that would be Nepotism.
Nope dictionary definition - Oxford - is that Nepotism is just favouring relatives and friends.
But that's precisely what I am saying. The issue here seems to be on the meaning of "favouring."
No it doesn't. That's not what the dictionary definition is.
I think such an understanding makes it harder to distinguish actual cases of corruption from regular common-sensical choices. Forget the blood ties for a moment. Things being equal, why would you choose the person you don't know?
I agree ... although the basic dictionary just makes a general statement of "favoring relatives," which can be looked at as being nebulous, the common attribute associated with nepotism is unfairness, even corruption, and being given without merit. Its origin with the Popes and clergy of Rome using it corruptly to both own property and to retain power in their families, is testament to this.
In Brazil, it is commonly associated with public offices. In private companies, it is not much used (it still might happen); and, in family business, never (because there can be no Nepotism in this case).
I believe he will. He understands what we want more than the others
More buses right?
Unless we use the extra buses to run the opposition over I want More ruthlessness. More win at all costs. Less nice guys and less accountants. I think Darren understands me.
