The fact that this question even exists renders me profoundly uninterested in pursuing personal fulfillment. People should be able to see past this pathetically shallow tactic of 'using a fact about yourself', especially an "interesting" one, to garner additional favor or attention. The ability to discern when someone is trying to do this to you this is strikingly lacking from people, especially those who are paid over USD$10M, who seem more likely than any other income bracket to hire whoever they personally deem fit for, possibly entirely, emotional reasons. They, in fact, seem the least interested to even try to care about this, which by the end of this paragraph is probably painfully obvious.

The real problem is if a $1B exec decides to hire his grandson over an objectively more qualified candidate overall, then that exec has the final say, and his shitty asshole grandson is hired, no questions askable. The real problem is that people who don't have the necessary expertise to make proper decisions are put into positions to make these decisions sheerly based on their senioriity. even though they lack the proper expertise. Until company execs are bound to logically/ethically defend each and every decision with respect to their country's constituents, (as well as financially defend), then from where does the belief arise that these execs have any interest in doing such?
