Overheard from my new boss while they were on a call the other day

“You know, I told my kid that if they applied to this job (at our company near the bosses area), I could teach them everything they needed to be successful.” Nepotism, great. Love it…. But the worst part is yet to come, boss goes on to say: “Their response? They go 'When you work a normal week and not work on the weekend, then I'll consider it.'” Then boss laughed like that was actually a funny joke…. That's it, that's the post. Sorry if it feels low-effort but I just can't wrap my head around the cognitive dissonance of this person to seemingly not even realize the impact of a statement like that and just how bleak it really is. Just makes me sad.
