When powerful people give sought after jobs to their undeserving (and incompetent) family members and friends, for the purpose of social status and to help them have a superficial sense of value and self-worth; and also to others as either payback for favors or with the expectations of receiving them. Meanwhile, the people who are actually worthy of those jobs, are given no consideration and thought of as being expendable.
The Senator promised to appoint the best candidates for jobs, but as soon as he was elected, the first job he handed out was to his dipshit son. He could barely tell you his title, much less how to do the job. Nepotism in politics would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad.

A crime against the more qualified, talented, experienced workers who apply for employment because the people actually hired for the job were related to, friends with, sleeping with, or had incriminating evidence against, the person or people doing the hiring.
Nepotism runs ramped at the company and safety and performance is poor since 80% of the employees are related to or friends with the Vice President.

Though Dubya was off partying throughout his college years and the Vietnam war, nepotism landed him in the Oval Office.
