Have you ever dealt with someone so incredibly incompetent that the only thing keeping them from working at a mcdonalds is their family connections?

Thankfully no, since affirmative action is banned from Michigan.

Connections are the only way anybody gets a job around here.

Right, but sometime people with connections can actually do their job. I'm talking about people with connections who are mind-fuckingly bad at their jobs.

Yeah that too.
I can actually do any job but I don't get hired anywhere because I have to connections.

I got my job cause my dad asked for me. it would explain why I did terribly at the interviews and still got it (I was a nervous wreck -- I also looked like I probably had a few skeletons in my closet. Literally).
It was the right decision for the wrong reasons.

My boss has her two sons working at her store, her mother, and her son's girlfriend that he knocked up. They all get paid about 9 an hour compared to 7.50-8 that the rest of us get. On of her son's was fired from another dairyqueen in town before she really hired him in her store. I'm looking for another job because this bullshit causes too much unnessicary stress, and I don't like having three days off in a week.
