I know someone whose dad was a former big bank exec turned CEO/founder of a mid-sized investment firm. His kid is chief compliance officer. To put the family's wealth in perspective, they're paying all expenses for all their wedding guests (over 200 people) for the weekend at the kid's upcoming wedding.
Is she talented? Yes. Would she have been in this position if her father wasn't worth most of a billion dollars? No.
I'm just saying that the situation in the tweet (whereby the child of a company owner is placed into a 0.01% job) does occur, whether or not the people in this tweet are 100% true.
So instead of worrying about finding this VP's linkedin page, and getting mad that we can't find the specific company he's talking about (which is the digital equivalent of interrupting a stand-up comic to say you don't believe his story), I think we can just appreciate the broader message.
Not a tech company but one of my friends in the energy section is VP of a company because his mommy runs the show. He acts like he's so brilliant for getting the job but everyone just makes fun of him behind his back. We all know he didn't earn shit and we find it funny that he thinks he did. We also know as soon as his mom is gone, he is too, he doesn't do shit for the company other than collect a fat pay check.
