NEPOTISM IN THE WORKPLACE

Nepotism is a form of discrimination in which family members are hired for reasons that do not necessarily have anything to do with their experience, knowledge, or skills. It creates a situation where those that are qualified for opportunities don't get them. People often imagine that working with their loved ones will be utter joy and contentment, which is the driving idea behind nepotism; apart from monopolizing the income to one's family and friends. However, history attests to the fact that all nepotism does is to create conflicts and inhibit progress.
