lol. Let’s not throw Latin / Asian culture under the bus when the implicit alternative being posed is American culture. Pot meet kettle.
Remember what old mate says to Ryan Gosling in the Barbie movie? “We’re just better at hiding it.”
- delfinom 3y agoThis, nepotism is rife in private American companies of all kinds from my own experiences and others. O God, there's at least one company, I personally have experience with that not only is a nepotistic hellhole, but is actively defrauding the government and a few big names. The result of spoiled brats getting control of a very niche private hardware engineering company after their father died.
- areoform 3y agoThat sounds like a startup opportunity.
- macintux 3y agoSounds like a whistleblower opportunity. The government pays big bucks when you bring major fraud to their attention.
- justinclift 3y agoWhile waiting for those life changing $$$, are whistleblowers in America generally treated well and their identify kept anonymous?
- ameister14 3y agoYes. There are statutory protections for whistleblowers, as well: https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower/retaliation https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower/retaliation
- justinclift 3y agoI guess the real question is if they're generally effective? For comparison, Australia theoretically has protections for whistleblowers. But it's unfortunately common for whistleblowers in practice to get royally shafted, have their life destroyed, (etc). :( * https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-27/richard-boyle-case-goes-to-trial-after-immunity-defence-fails/102148790 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-27/richard-boyle-case-go... * https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-13/trial-date-for-afghanistan-alleged-whistleblower/102218334 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-13/trial-date-for-afghan...
- justinclift 3y agoWhat kind of hardware engineering are they into?
- golergka 3y agoThe fact that some culture becomes better at hiding it usually means that it's less accepted by the society, hence hiding it is more important.
- justinclift 3y agoAlternatively, they make their behaviour legally acceptable through legislation changes.
- that_aint_cool 3y agoLatin / Asian CORRUPTION ^* culture It's not difficult to find tons of cases... ^* "Corruption continues to fester, aided by scandals surrounding the COVID-19 response, and is fueling popular outrage. In Peru, for instance, ministers received preferential treatment for vaccines, and in Argentina, government officials set up “VIP immunization clinics” for family and friends." "Beyond these instances of favoritism and nepotism, the crisis has resulted in the further weakening of judicial independence and the rule of law. In Guatemala, President Alejandro Giammattei has presided over dramatic steps against judicial oversight in recent months, including the sacking of the country’s top anti-corruption prosecutor. These maneuvers—coupled with underperforming economies—have further dented public support for elected officials and trust in government."[1] ^* [1] https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/democracy-in-latin-america-is-under-threat-these-two-summits-are-a-chance-to-fix-it/ https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/democr...
