There’s a lot of examples out there where hiring family was a complete flop. Show data trust in family is rational and not just low effort.

I think you’re making up a narrative that sounds roughly technical, roughly contemporary wisdom but is 100% primate throwing BS.

Most people trust their families more than their work acquaintances. Still, the family member must have more than trust, to do a good job in a skilled profession.

Proof? I'm not going to spend the effort to cite data here, since we have no prior relationship.

Hiring family is questionable.

Hiring former work associates ("work friends") is more solid. Because that relationship is based in a relevant environment.

What if the family member is looking for their first job and is well trained?
