Every job should have a public posting period and all qualified candidates should have to be interviewed, no exceptions. Idk why only public sector work has remotely sane hiring policies.

    Not just ablest, it's discrimination in all forms. A white cishet man as manager is much less likely to have connections with black groups, LGBT groups, or women. Vice versa too ofc, although that's less rare and normally wouldn't have discrimination anyway.

      I mean, at some level its just post hoc reasoning. I didn't just get a job from my parents... I Networked!

      There's a certain realism to it. Why do the Ivy Leagues command such clout, long after any actual educational benefit has been eclipsed by Khan Academy? How come kids from military families tend to end up as high ranking military leadership? Why are the VPs at my company all named the same?

      Nepotism! Networking!

      To call it ableist feels of the mark, because eventually you get one of those Holy Roman Emperors who just drooled on himself all day.
