Hi @ayijufridar, welcome to thinking and ideas week 4

My Observations:

In my country, this is called “IM”, just a slang to quote that your job or admission was gotten through bribery or through knowing some top officials even when it was merited. It has become a norm for people to always develop that mindset when such a thing happens.

Recommendations are not bad, it only gives opportunities to right people who fits that position, although, I believe in merit still.
