the inverse relationship
Was how employees at one middle-eastern-based firm I worked for referred to the quality of management

The principle was that the closer their blood relationship to the CEO of the group, the less could be expected of them in regards to competence or integrity. Funny how that often worked out.

I can't quote specifics due to it being sub-judice at the moment (One member of senior staff facing jail for running all his father-in-laws holidays through the product development expense account with the full knowledge and permission of the group holding company, another appealing against sentence already passed.)

But its alarmingly common, the auditors knew all about it, and were paid off to do nothing..

Blood's thicker than water, and family place-men are thicker than shit.

Disappointed without surprise would be nearer
You'd think firms that are already making it big through honest trade would understand how poorly the long term risk-return-consequence cycle of a bit of sketchiness on the side would serve their business plan

before.
