People throw around words like “nepotism” without even understanding what it means. Hiring and promotions follow policies, qualifications, and Civil Service regulations not rumors from anonymous complainers. Also, stop crying about qualified retirees returning to work. It happens everywhere because experience and knowledge matter. Giving jobs just because someone’s been around the longest is exactly why some supervisors still don’t know how to lead, manage people, or oversee departments effectively. That’s the real issue.
