hi,

You say - we do not need to love everyone universally within the industry,
but we have to be friendly, approachable, and proffessional. right about the
love and proffessional. but, do we really have to agree to incompetence, in
the name of some future "people people" policy? and - doesn't it mean we in
fact promote incompetence, because this year's cadet may well be a
sub-project manager next year? promoting friends You know they are
competent, is pretty fine for me, and as far as I know - it is also a good
HR policy to have someone well known employed :)) but i cannot say the same
about someone like mentioned u-lab assistant - just because he is from the
industry. 

cheers
