To play double's advocate here, nepotism might be a good thing.
Suppose you're good at the job but bad at resume polishing & interviewing. That inside track referral might put you ahead of a bullshit artist they might otherwise hire.
Just don't fuck up the job, OP.

Look the guys advice is pretty solid honestly. I'm happy to do my best at the job. Just because the guys messes up his idioms doesn't mean you can claim his point isn't valid and use that as some kind of escape goat

If a business hires an employee with family ties in the company, that's often a welcome guarantor that said employee would be less willing/likely to fuck it up and will show more loyalty to the job.

the only good thing about it is that an employer would have more data on one of their family members than some random retard which you only have their resume on.
