This is less sensitive because it doesn't touch on issues like gender or race but these biases can absolutely negatively impact your business | |

But there's definitely a spectrum where some workplaces will be blatantly nepotistic while others work hard to be meritocratic. The fuzziness of the subject doesnt mean that it cannot have very real world impact on businesses and individuals | |

It is much like the problem with "survival of the fittest" because what constitutes "fitness" changes by circumstance. Likewise, "meritocracy" changes by what the company needs at that moment. | |
