Ive been in situations where i get put in charge of people who i dont have an i kling of their work. You learn.
The nepotism management position is a fantasy that people enjoy because it means they might luck pit and get a cushy job like it someday. Very few are failing where they knew someone and got the job that way.
Most are where they are via the principle of promotion until you no longer stand out and lack of accountability for their position by their own management.
I don't know where you work or your level, but my observations come from spending forty years in a mid-sized American corporation. I didn't get to stay that long because I wasn't smart, but I saw stupid shitheads hang on due to all those things I pointed out when people much more brilliant were let go.
Management doesn't have a fucking clue who knows what or who knows how to get things done. They base assessment off of who licks their ass time and time again. Tell figured out when I started to walk, which is why they handed over a 60K retention bonus for me to stay on one more year at the end.
The company I worked for would not have gotten taken over if the upper management had even half a brain, and their ass kissing mid-management wouldn't have made so many mistakes that drove the stock in the ground if they had promoted the people with the technical skills to actually further the companies goals.
I seriously doubt what I saw and dealt with was an isolated case. Friends have told me the same with the corporations they worked for across this country.
My experience is a similar amount of time rooting out the bad levels of management.
People have a tendancy to say people fucked their way to the top or are the brother/friend/naked hammer boyfriend of the management directly above them because they aren't great in their current positions.
It happens, but its far from as common as people make it out to be. It's a convenient lie for people to buy into, like a child saying their parents hate them and thats why they have a bedtime. It's not untrue, but ita not the truth for the most.
