this is concerning private company (non-government) positions

This company isn't owned by the supervisor hiring relatives, but the owners are fairly uninvolved in the company management/politics, and believe whatever the supervisor says. She performs the evaluation (including the evaluation of her daughter) and can pretty much put whatever she wants and the owners won't question it. I'm wondering if the rest of us have any legal recourse...

I'm wondering because we can't approach the owners about the supervisor's daughter without threat of being fired or severly punished in some way, unless we can site some sort of law or something.

Hi Guppie,
I don't know the laws in Wisconsin, However, a private company is just that.. private.

It's shareholders can be restricted to family members... a husband and wife for example. It's director can be their son, and the company can employ all three if they so desire, as it is a private company with no public shareholders to protect.

No public shareholders, that is, not listed on the stock exchange, and normally it can stop trading and de-register when its private Directors decide so.

There is no way dreaming that a reasonable person establishing a personal private business would choose a private company structure if outsiders could control whether or not that company could employ a family member, for example a son, in preference to a person with better credentials but who is not part of the business ownership succession plan.

Sorry, but it is my private company and I ought to be able to divest myself of it to my family if that is what I desire, even if that means that a person with better credentials isn't given the chance. If it were different... why would I bother building up a company business, risking family assets, just to be forced to hand it over to strangers?
