NEPO NONSENSE
While researching the Wild Alaskan Company, I stumbled across something a little fishy. The Head of Communications, Monica Haim, is married to the CEO, Arron Kallenberg. Translation: the jealous wifey is going to hire people weaker than herself so no one outshines her — hence why I didn’t even land a phone screen. Speaking of WILD, considering I have 13 years of hands-on restaurant experience, having held and slayed nearly every position in the industry! Plus, I’ve been top in sales in every sales position I’ve ever held. Really bad combo, I know!
I applied to the Rebellion Group several times over the course of several years, and they never even acknowledged me once, as if I’ve got nothing going on for myself. Shocker. Finally, I pushed back and got a response as if they had no idea who I was — bullshit! They told me they weren’t hiring, then I saw a job posting a week later saying they were. KAREN — oops, I mean Jen Tindall, the Head of HR, who’s seemingly related to the CEO, Bryn Tindall.
I moved cross-country to work at StorageMart, only to discover the SEO Director, Heather Gerling, and the SVP of Marketing, Sarah Little, are ugly on the inside — Nepo Sisters!
I forgot their names, but her husband got her a job at the Martin Agency. Countless applications, and I wasn’t even afforded a phone screen.
I forgot their names, but a recruiter got their friend hired at Leo Burnett. Countless applications, and again, I wasn’t even afforded an interview.
