Repercussions of Stupid Favoritism in the Workplace

     After 6 months of dismal performance by their National Director of Visual, a hundred-year-old global luxury housewares company knew that they needed to change things.  But they didn't.  They replaced that feeble person with another idiot (despite all the qualified ones in our over-saturated job market).
     Typical of flabby unsupervised Corporate management, they allowed the Director of Stores to hire her young male friend for the job.  They should've hired a competent replacement, instead of the Director's buddy.  They allowed her to hire a 24-year-old idiot.  
     The new guy was given total control over window displays, across the country, as well as in-store merchandising.  Yet, it seems like he could care less about his job.  Despite this city's tough job market (which might make someone feel grateful to have a job), what did he do?  He sat at his corporate desk and let the managers do their entire re-merchandising for their stores.  A job that he's supposed to do!  Those managers complained that when he visited--at company expense--he barely looked at the work they'd done.  He doesn't seem concerned about consequences!
     What did he actually DO?  At the upper-Madison flagship, he merely showed up to put some flowers in vases.  (Actually, he split the 3 bouquets amongst 2 stores).  The flowers wilted within 2 days.  Such a luxury environment for clients!?
     The next thing he did at that flagship was to arrive and pull a cheap-looking tablecloth from its plastic wrapper and throw it on the table in the front store window... wrinkled and un-ironed/steamed.  He added some glitter-coated antlers (as winter flair... typical of a young gay guy).  Lastly, when the flagship's manager asked him for help with a store display, the young man took a taxi from the corporate office--at company expense--ONLY to say that he couldn't help that day.  Then, he took a taxi back.  What the  hell?  Why couldn't he accomplish that over the phone?  What a sign of "lack of oversight".  Obviously no one watches him!
     These are the repercussions of hiring "friends" (who aren't qualified), instead of qualified professionals.  !!!  If I was in charge, and I found out who had hired who... I would've fired both of them.
