Worker exposes warehouse nepotism by documenting coworker, Dave's, chronic laziness, who uses his cousin's ‘regional manager’ title as an excuse to underperform at work: 'Everyone's scared of the cousin connection'

Oh, good old nepotism. We can try to escape it, but it will most likely follow us wherever we go. We can't even pretend that it was a concept established with the evolution of the workplace…Nepotism is a concept that has been around since the cavemen had to choose who to share their hunt with. Whether we admit it to ourselves or not. We're not saying it's fair, in fact, we're saying quite the opposite. The more you notice a concept's presence within other elements of your life, the better you'll understand it, and hence find the best solutions to deal with it accordingly.

This warehouse worker cannot ignore his coworker's work ethic, or in this case, lack thereof…He shows up late for work daily and barely lifts a finger, thinking his behaviour and chronic laziness should be excused, simply because he's the cousin of the regional manager…Let's calm down, he's not The Pope. When the other staff also began complaining about him, he decided to report it, filing a warning with HR. Having previously documented every move he made as proof…Let's just say this warehouse worker started reviewing his CV very soon after the regional manager called him in for a "little chat" regarding his favorite cousin.

The idea that someone so hardworking could lose their job due to some biased hierarchy is truly heartbreaking. Since when is holding someone accountable for their actions a crime, but making everyone else do your job not? The only solution we can advise is sending HR a polite invitation, welcoming them to sit in on the meeting regarding his ‘sudden need for feedback…’
