before the germans lost to south korea, i was reading this article to see how close i relate to their culture and what hit me the most was.

" Workers at all levels are judged heavily on their competence and diligence, rather than interpersonal skills."

this had me realize how i truly dispise favoritism (https://www.forbes.com/…/how-to-deal-with-favoritism-at-w…/…)

being liked does not put any excuse for not doing your job properly. i see it like this - even tho no matter how i like this person just as much as everyone else, there's unfairness at play - and with unfairness - has everyone who works hard is left with what they do unjustified.

i dont care if its a dog eat dog world.. im just simply seeking the fact .. if someone is good at something and has surefire credit accomplishing it .. reward that person .. and screw the cunning screw up who lies stealing all the credit.

if it never will happen do advise.. my mindset needs to change.. because i dont want to stick to the losing game.

I agree. Meritocracy over nepotism.

I’ve seem it so many times when the worst workers get promoted. Because the good ones are needed where they are.

Because of this, I work for myswlf

Yeah I see it tearing apart the office I deal with. I'm a subcontractor so I just go there in the morning and pick up supplies for whatever job I'm doing but the people in the office are becoming more and more incompetent. It's kind of sad because the old guy who started this business 40 some years ago selling windows out of the trunk of his car and turned it into a 30 million dollar a year remodeling empire is not around any more. His 30 something year old daughter is now in charge and she hires people she likes, not people who know anything about what they are supposed to be doing. It's kind of weird having a whole office full of people that think they are your boss but don't have any idea what you are doing or how it is supposed to be done.

Her dad went out and looked at every job we did and hired people to work in the office who had done the job 30 years and were experts at it. Now we have a bunch of kids in the office who don't care what happens as long as they can have office birthday parties every week and the checks keep rolling in. Unfortunately the checks are coming in slower and slower because something is always ordered wrong or we don't have the supplies available.

So yeah I see all the people in the office pointing fingers at each other trying to play the blame game when jobs aren't finished and I think to myself surely this has to change. Unfortunately nothing is changing. When the company was run the way you think things should be run it prospered enormously, and now that it is being run by favoritism it is faltering, the company will probably die a slow death under the new rule... Nothing new to me, the last company I worked for was around for 35 years until the original owner retired and left it to his kids. It was bankrupt three years later.

Help me with:

I need help.

Docteur Ralph just gave us what could be a case study in an Harvard MBA program. Yes, competence should trump favoritism in organizations, but most of the time it doesn't. The daughter will eventually lose her business and all of those "likeable" screwups she hired will have abandoned her.

Absolutely Ralph!

My dad is in the same situation. He does home adaptions for the disabled and elderly, he used to book in his own jobs and give enough time to assess what he needed, get supplies and go do the job. Now the office do it and expect him to own a tardis. Not only that he is travelling to one end of the city and back some days. He even had a two jobs in the same street but booked in for different days so he would have to go back.

Maybe its office staff who are completely incompetent and have no idea of the jobs that need to be done. Or maybe companies are hiring younger people on cheaper wages.
