I wish people would keep these kinds of situations in mind when discussing whether or not a certain industry is a "meritocracy".

- refurb 6y agoThe issue people have with “meritocracy” is because they can only think in black and white, no grays. Society is made up of humans and humans do unfair things. That doesn’t mean that tech companies aren’t generally meritocracies.
- aaron695 6y agoI have no idea what you are saying? Having friends in an industry is hard work, so it a meritocracy, it is well earned to have made contacts that will help you. In this article it's perhaps family, but a family that supports their childrens career in a blue collar job like policing, in a meritocracy, also deserve the reward. In policing perhaps it's illegal or should be illegal. But it's still a meritocracy.
