We regularly get emails about job opportunities and asking us to refer our friends and family. In my department there is also huge amounts of favoritism on the parts of the leadership. Bonuses and special awards are given out on what is advertised as a competitive basis, and rewards based on performance. Unfortunately, that is all talk, if you schmooze up enough to the supervisors you get personal as well as professional perks. It is not uncommon for supervisors to go out to lunch with an employee, favorite employees are given company equipment (our jobs are totally done at work, it is impossible to do our work at home) for them to use at home, when a favorite employee comes in late a blind eye is turned but non-favorites get their swipe times pulled and examined, raises and bonuses are given based on the supervisors ranking each of us in the department and a percentage is given to each person-clearly favorites get the upper cut and non favorites get the table scraps, and there is a special award program that gives a recognition certificate as well as monetary award based on whatever a supervisor determines is deserving of an award-this is a very easy way to determine who is a favorite and how favored they are-and who is not. Oh, and I work at one of the nation's largest companies, and in our main product, THE largest company. Sad, very sad state of affairs. I work for a company that actively encourages nepotism.

The popularity contest doesn't end with college. You're very astute. Most people I know won't even acknowledge that the nepotism system exists (of course they're the very ones that benefit from it). After I got my engineering degree, the only doors that opened for me were the double doors at Wal-Mart. Several of my former schoolmates, most of them jocks, would walk past and hurl insults at me, saying I was a fucking loser and that they knew I wasn't really smart-implying that I wasn't smart enough to get a real job. If their mommies and daddies didn't have influence, they too would be shitter cleaners. Sick fucking world. Obama's preacher was right-God damn America. @Hilary, Damn straight Hilary!

Those are the jobs that are never posted for the world to see. Familial nepotism is what hinders your chances of ever escaping the working-class. You can have merit coming out your ears, but if lack of connections forces you to seek your opportunities from strangers, you're going to be exploited. Period. We need policies to address the problem for example, free education through college, more government jobs and more housing assistance. This isn't Russia. If you're willing to work hard, you shouldn't need "connections" in order to live a middle-class lifestyle.
