This is similar to the reason that Commonwealth Edison, here in Chicago, stop the allowing the hiring of family members. In that instance the last straw is when somebody died in a third of the workers ditched work and went to the funeral.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Shame they didn't have a nepotism policy before.
There’s a similar situation at my wife’s work. She’s one of nine to be pregnant, all on the same unit. At my work, there’s three of us who are either pregnant or whose wife is pregnant. All pregnancies, both at her work and mine, are due at around the same time.
Is this related to the phenomenon that women who spend a lot of time together start to align menstrual cycles? Or is that just a misogynist urban legend? I don't even know what's true anymore.
That's actually a myth. The thing is that menstrual cycles have different durations and time in-between. So given some time, those will coincide between them. Just like planet alignments and such.
