Nepotism: Live and Well

Nepotism certainly exists in this society, but no one wants to talk about it. I know many of people who were offered a job, promotion, or accepted into an organization on the grounds of nepotism. It makes me cringe knowing that someone received a faulty opportunity because he or she is a family member, best friend, or close associate of the review committee. Once this inept individual receive the position, the person is discombobulated by the job responsibilities. They just walk around clueless and constantly bothering others for help. 

I want to be hired on the grounds of my abilities and experience. People who are faced with these dilemmas must safeguard their integrity, ethics, and morals. Do not hire on the basis of relationship. When one considers the ‘bestie’ for the job and not their qualification, these important attributes become compromised. When people give in to favoritism they deteriorate their character. Does anyone know someone who procured a position on the ground of nepotism? Or, are you in your position because of preferential treatment? Tell the Truth.

Little Brown Baby

LITTLE brown baby wif spa'klin' eyes,
Come to yo' pappy an' set on his knee.

What you been doin', suh -- makin' san' pies?
Look at dat bib -- you's ez du'ty ez me.

Look at dat mouf -- dat's merlasses, I bet;
Come hyeah, Maria, an' wipe off his han's.

Bees gwine to ketch you an' eat you up yit,
Bein' so sticky an sweet -- goodness lan's!
