Reading this new CEOs job history on linkedin is kinda infuriating. She goes from intern to head of consumer products at Skype in less than a year. Just… Frustrating to read that while I am and manage really good people who struggle for decades in the trenches to get even paltry job opportunities.

But she got her MBA from Stanford so nepotism ahoy I guess.

How is getting an MBA from Stanford nepotism? She probably worked her ass off not only to earn the degree but to be accepted to the university in the first place. Without knowing anything about her, I’m going to assume she’s a total rockstar until there’s a good reason to believe otherwise.

working hard and nepotism aren't mutually exclusive

okay but still where is the nepotism? You’ve commented on the general hypothetical possibility of nepotism not having been dis-proven.

Being at Stanford in and of itself is not nepotism so it’s a pretty fair question to those of us who want words to mean things.
