FRIEND OF MINE my own version

13/07/2025

It’s frustrating, disheartening, and frankly exhausting to see how hiring decisions are too often based on who you know rather than what you know. Skills, experience, dedication, and work ethic can be overshadowed by personal connections, social circles, and political alignments.

In many workplaces, especially in public service or politics-adjacent roles, there’s this unwritten rule: if you didn’t work under the "right" administration, you’re suddenly less valuable. Not because your qualifications changed—but because of perception. You can be competent, ethical, and effective, but if your name isn't in the right conversations or you weren’t aligned with the “in” group, opportunities dry up.

This isn't just unfair—it’s inefficient. Organizations lose out on real talent. People are passed over not for lack of capability, but for lack of connections. And let's be honest: it's demoralizing to watch someone get a position simply because they knew the right person or played the right political game.

We need to move toward merit-based hiring—where skills, integrity, and performance matter more than proximity to power. Yes, relationships and trust matter, but they should complement qualifications, not replace them.

To those who've been overlooked, stay encouraged. Your worth is not diminished by biased systems. And to those in positions of influence—please, be better. Use your seat at the table to champion fairness. Normalize transparency in hiring. Question your own biases. Because we all deserve a system where what you know actually matters.

There's nothing quite like the feeling of sharing a song, or the thrill of guiding an event to success. Singing and hosting aren't just hobbies; they're expressions of who I am, and I pour my heart into every note and every interaction.

This Christmas, let's raise a glass (of eggnog, hot chocolate, or sparkling cider!) to the friends who make our lives brighter. They're the ones who share our laughter, wipe away our tears, and celebrate our victories, big and small. Through thick and thin, they're the constant stars in our ever-changing sky.

This year, let's make a conscious effort to reach out to our friends, to let them know how much they mean to us. A simple phone call, a heartfelt text, or a thoughtful gift can go a long way in strengthening the bonds of friendship. Let's cherish these connections, for they are the true gifts of the season. Merry Christmas to all my amazing friends!
