| - Nepotism is the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.
- "Nepotism" is the first episode of Season 7 and the 127th episode of The Office overall. It was written by Daniel Chun and directed by Jeffrey Blitz. The episode originally aired on September 23, 2010. It was viewed by 8.40 million people.
- Def: Giving jobs or favors to a relative. Synonym: Business as usual Derivation: The name comes from the Nepot Dome Scandal which happened a long time ago in Wyoming. Dick Cheney was not involved even though it happened in his back yard. A bunch of government contracts for oil-drilling were given to relatives of someone named Prescott Walker or something like that. Democrats thought this was bad even though it contributed to our national security and they hounded the Republican president at the time about it.
- Nepotism is practice of favoring relatives in hiring or contracting regardless of their merit. Common in the private sector, especially in less formally managed small firms, it is an obvious manifestation of corruption in government operations and a comparable threat to the integrity of news organizations and educational institutions. Widely understood as a species of corruption, nepotism is most evident in governments and organizations where leaders depend heavily on the distribution of private goods over public goods to maintain support.

- Nepotism is practice of favoring relatives in hiring or contracting regardless of their merit.

Widely understood as a species of corruption, nepotism is most evident in governments and organizations where leaders depend heavily on the distribution of private goods over public goods to maintain support. Nepotism is associated with the emergence of dynasticism, which shrinks the pool of possible successors of current leaders to their spouses, offspring, and other family members.
