Ethnic nepotism caught with its pants down again
Aug 20^th, 2013 at 9:40am

Link

Another case of ethnic nepotism and networking.

I've personally witnessed this over a period of many years. One ethnic family member will get himself ensconced as an employee in an organisation that has hundreds on the pay-roll.

And then it begins.

He'll inveigle the company's Personnel Manager to give first preference for vacancies to members of his extended family. It's not legal, but who's to know? Job vacancies must by law be advertised to the public.

And then this inflow of family members increases exponentially as each vacancy becomes available.

Before too long the entire cleaning staff of a big city hotel, or a hospital, or the airport, or public transport ~ becomes almost the private domain of an extended family who are all connected to one another by blood and marriage ~ and often by people who are from the same village back in Lebanon or Greece. Or simply people of their ethnic background.

In this story we see the success someone's had in beefing up the nursing assistant staff with fellow ethnics, and immediate and extended family members.

It's an ethnic racket in as much as it sidelines the general public from having an equal opportunity to fill these vacancies.

The more Pacific Islanders, or whichever ethnicity and family-group is being fast-tracked into these jobs ~ the greater is the intimidation felt by the Personnel Manager that he had better not employ anyone other than the 'uncle' or 'cousin' or 'aunty' who he has been told is waiting for a vacancy to turn up.

Hmm - link does raise serious issues - a lot of AINs love to say they are 'nurses' when Nurses are far more highly qualified...it's a problem throughout since many nurses in turn like to believe they know more than doctors and such - which may be the case occasionally, but.... not as a general rule.

I hold no high brief for the medical professions these days in any case - they seem, in many cases, to be overpaid and under-capable, and to love to experiment with their patients instead of going straight to the root of a problem.

A case in point is with chronic airway obstruction, often with people who lived and worked in polluted cities and industrial areas, and often mistaken for anything but what it is - damaged airways.

And don't anybody mention those entitlement princesses - dentists... Grin

*shows teeth... Grin

As for the syndrome you discuss - yes - it can take place and it is wrong, and needs to be looked into. I would, however, have thought that the Nurses union would be heavy on that - they are pretty good mostly.

Cheesy

Is it true what Mantra says ~ that you used to chase her around the board giving her a hard time for no reason except it amused you to think you had some power over her feelings?

Is this true?

Middle aged Miss Mantra who likes cats and is a gentle soul on this board.

Can you name me one person on this board who doesn't think you're a pathetic piece of sh*t and a poor excuse for a man to make a sport of hurting her feelings?

are you upset because he pointed out that there no hint of ethnicity in the story?

By the way, I don't think Aussie is ' pathetic piece of sh*t and a poor excuse for a man' .... I'm sure there are others ... do you just make these things up as you go?
