'Don't fire me so you can hire your nephew': IT guy forced to train unqualified nepo baby to replace him, nephew tanks the company, boss gets fired

If you feel taken for granted more than anyone else you know, you're probably the parent of a teenager or you work in IT. Even worse, you might be both. Now, I have never worked at a company big enough to have an official IT person, but I know how grateful my coworkers and I would be if we did. One has to wonder where this lack of proper gratitude comes from considering how lost we would be without the technologically competent folks in our lives and especially in our workplace environments. 

Not only should this story serve as a reminder to thank the IT guy if you have one, but let this story also serve as a glaring reminder that there are some positions that nepo babies should never be considered for in the workplace. Nepo babies, as we know all too well at this point, are a rare species that exist in our universe whether we like it or not. What employers have to consider is where to place them (if they have to place them somewhere) so that the potential damage to the company and its employees is minimal.
