Anyone else shocked? I've personally witnessed some absolutely shameful managerial incompetence that was a direct result of nepotism in public-adjacent (contractors) companies. I mean absolutely clueless idiots responsible for the safety and well-being of hundreds of employees, just handed their positions because of who they were mates with.
