    That’s like 80% of all my jobs interviews (which were very many), especially including the nepotism part at the end.

        Yup, i worked in tons of places already but of the best two jobs i had one i got by nepotism too (and then the fucking Sejm of all things liquidated the workplace) and the second one where i didn’t give a flying fuck, it was like my 10th interview in a week, i didn’t even know what that company do or what i was supposed to do there, but entire interview was in english and the boss was impressed i guess.

          Hey I got my job from netopism the internal recommendation system lmao

          It’s just how things work here, and that just fucking sucks for anyone who doesn’t have contacts. Hell, even for people with contacts that still fucking sucks.

            And i don’t even mean private businesses, there the nepotism is a virtue since it’s well, private. I meant the state institutions where there are regulations and contests that are supposed to be against nepotism, but still fail every time. Thank you PM Buzek for your magnificent administration reform 🤮

            I once seen a case in a local administration where a young guy was on a fucking half year internship for a janitor job and after that they still hired guy who was director’s uncle or cousin.

      i would say that the word revolution is relatively “sanitised”, unless you follow politics intensely i imagine the last time you heard revolution was in high school and the “industrial revolution” or revolutionary breakthrough on medical science.

      But that’s probably just me
