Working part time at a finance firm, I couldn't believe how stupid some of them are

Like.... Some of them are dumber than their secretaries and it's clear they only got to where they were because of nepotism

This isn't normal is it? I thought high level employees are supposed to be bright and smart?

Because how did they get promoted and make it that far to be a CEO or COO if they aren't smart? I expected them to be the cream of the crop type of worker.

I have known garbage men who are smarter than they are. It's a shame too because those guys were in ivy league schools and they're still stupid

Obviously higher ups do but I would think that they go for the best man for the job or smartest

Imagine someone who has 100iq. Exactly the average. They specialise into one field, say accounting. They are smarter at accounting than someone else who doesnt know how to account. Take that person, and ask them to do literally anything else. Explain the difference between a web browser and a website. Accurately fill in an asset audit. Wipe their ass and get all the poo off. They cant do any of that, because their limited IQ was spent all on accounting and now they are a literal caveman monkey brain when it comes to everything else.

LMAO

You work in finance and think its about ability and achievement?

I could have gotten a cushy job in one of a few institutions, just based on who Im related to.

I didnt want to do that, but if I was that kind of person I could have.

Its who you know, who youre related to, who you went to school with and who you drink/ go to the snow with.

This topic is probably a prelude to a topic on connections.

The concept that the best rise to the top is a bullshit myth, nepotism has and always will be how these things are handled under the immoral conditions of capitalism.

It sure is looking that way from my experiences here in the finance world so far

Initially I thought nepotism only applied to lower skilled jobs

The old boys club is real.

I thought finance was one of the areas most notorious for it too. Is this not a common perception?
