A collection of contemporary ideas

Certain types of businesses are held in endearment when referred to as “mom and pop” shops. However, what’s a better term for the cesspools of nepotism that are “family businesses” where the majority of the employees have the same last name and family tree, regardless of their qualifications?

I keep encountering blatant nepotism in places that I'm not necessarily expecting it. Sometimes it's not a big deal. But usually, it seems like these instances result in crap business practices full of people who have no sounding board that offers feedback beyond what they already think and/or want to hear. It sucks for other employees. It sucks for customers. It's not the same kind of cute as the mom and pop corner store or tasty restaurant down the way. I'm finding it difficult to understand where the line is drawn between nepotism and simply “learning the family business”. Or maybe they're both the same. If we know business owner dad wants his son to take over, then why would we bother working especially hard to appease them? There was a time when you had no choice but to follow in their footsteps and learn their trade, but that's not…

I’m not sure where else to post this but, so lets say HYPOTHETICALLY I left a job a few months ago (I was management) BUT I still have access to their company facebook and instagram accounts. I’m constantly torn between messing with their accounts or being mature and just logging out. What’s everyone’s thoughts? Again a hypothetical question. Totally hypothetical.

I 've been working for and IT corp about 4 years.The owner has a very creative way to control annual leave: Everyone must submit their next year plan on chrismas day. today I got sick and asked ( informed) for day off. She simply gave me 8 hours of silent treatment . And later said: be ware of being laid off for un well planned annual leave. I guess I must well planned my sick schedule. Not in the US. Just want to vent abit @-@. :)).
