I assume you're not arguing that people born into affluent families perform better than those who weren't.
In my view the ideal situation would still be a meritocracy but it would not be predicated on who you know or the old school tie.
- janosett 4y agoYou’re assuming being born into an affluent family is the cause of the higher pay. Is it possible that the employees from affluent families are higher performing? I assume there’s significant class bias but I think considering only that factor is a little reductive.
- skinnymuch 4y agoWe have seen enough of modern classist society to see it’s not reductive to focus on class as the factor.
- _8j50 4y agoYes, I also support meritocracy as well as critical examination of bias when decisions are made that especially affect a certain group of people. But keep in mind, the merit for jobs is still how hard it would be to get an individual that brings similar value which could be seemingly silly things like attractiveness for sales jobs for example.
