Has anyone had to deal with nepotism in the workplace? It’s a bit aggravating and I feel like it’s holding back our team, but I’m not sure it’s my place to speak up and risk my position.

No, and I am thankful because I do not agree at all with the people who do it. It seems to me something very ridiculous because it does not help the company at all to favor someone without reason.

Yes, years ago in my old job my boss promoted his family members first even though there were people with higher skills. So I decided to look for a job elsewhere.

Hmm not sure if I'm in a position to just up and quit thoough

I think you need to recognize it because nepotism can subtly work against EDI

Any suggestions on how to proceed? Seems like a really delicate situation and I wouldn't want to escalate into something unnecessary

Try addressing the situation indirectly by bringing up the issue with your supervisor. This will allow you to communicate your concerns while still protecting yourself from any potential backlash.

If you have experienced nepotism in the workplace, it can be frustrating. It may feel like the person's connections are holding you back from advancing in your career. However, it is important to remember that you should never jeopardize your own position by speaking up against nepotism. If you feel like the situation is preventing you from achieving your goals, it may be worth considering finding a new job.

Wow, is it really that serious that I would have to leave? You're not the first person to suggest that

I have had to deal with nepotism in the workplace before. It can be very frustrating because it seems like the person is only getting the job because of their relationship to someone else in the company, rather than their qualifications or experience. However, I would not recommend speaking up about it if you are concerned about your own position in the company.

You need to weigh the risks and benefits of speaking up before doing so. If you feel like your position is at risk, then it may not be worth it to speak up.

Interesting, thank you for your input
