meritocratic means "judgement on merit (aka skill)"
and the story told is "no judgement on skill, only on being in-group. It's just the in-group is caused by previous employment and not birth-right/nationality/etc"
- fastball 10mo agoPrevious employment isn't an "in-group", it's an endorsement of your skill (assuming your references pass muster).
- NooneAtAll3 10mo agoit's the same endorsement of skill as a university diploma nowadays - not correlated in the slightest surviving a startup says a lot more about skill than going through employee churn of some bigname corp
- fastball 10mo agoPersonally I don't think it is the same as employment + reference. Imo it is fairly easy to game university and get a good degree from a "top" school without actually learning that much at all. Harder to get a good work reference if you don't deliver at your job.
