Nepotism in the Workplace

Photo by Kristina Flour I would imagine Nepotism in the workplace is something everyone in the workforce has seen first-hand. Some have heard of it happening. You may have even been a victim of it. That time you have been overlooked for that position due to the boss’s friend or relative getting the job. The subject is very emotive, especially when you ask people whether it is right or…

(LORE BE DOWN THERE)

Oswald Cobblepot was born to a poor family in a small Hungarian village, the eldest child of what would come to be six children. From the moment he could function by himself, he was expected to take up responsibilities around the house - taking care of his siblings, earning a little extra money when he could. Not because his parents were neglectful, but because they were trying to scrape together what little money they earned from multiple jobs. Oz had to help out somehow, because there was no one else to do it.

Oz was 12 when they left Hungary. His father had gotten desperate and had turned to working for some bad people in order to provide for his family. When continuing down that path grew too dangerous, they fled to Britain, where their life was only a tiny bit better. They were still poor, but by now Oz was able to get a couple of real jobs (through lying about his age) to help properly support the family. However, by his early teen years the symptoms of his IED had begun to develop and show, and his frequent outbursts oftentimes got him sacked or even, on a couple of occasions, jailed for short periods of time.

Though he tried his best to keep his head inside of his home, it was something he couldn't control. He would always feel awful about being cruel to his family after the fact, but he had never been the type to apologize with words, so he decided that to pay them back, he needed to provide even more for them.

This is when Oswald began to dip into criminality. He couldn't keep a proper job, but peddling drugs or breaking bones worked just as well (and even paid better, in most cases). His outbursts even helped him, giving him a reputation amongst low-level criminals that eventually grew into recognition from bigger ones.

These more powerful criminals could see that under the anger and the violence, Oswald was actually incredibly cunning when he was allowed to be. He could come up with schemes that, while risky, did prove to pay out in the majority of cases. Eventually, one of Oswald's more frequent employers and a major crime boss decided to take him in, impressed by how naturally he'd taken to the criminal life.

It was through the experience within that crime family where Oswald really honed his skills. He learned how to be intimidating and send a message without doing more than lifting a finger. He was never able to tame his reactions to the slightest provocations, but he learned how to be less impulsive. Throw his tantrums in the moment, but properly plan after he'd calmed down.

With the trust and wisdom gained from this family, Oswald grew...cocky. He felt untouchable; like he could master the game he'd only recently been taught. The money was coming in, he was respected, feared...and it made him feel on top of the world.

This was when he made a plan. A plan that would get him and his family all the money they needed to leave the country and start somewhere new, somewhere where Oswald could create his own criminal empire and shower them all in all the riches they could ever imagine.

He went behind his employer's back and started to feed information to the other crime families. Things that would not only distract his boss, and leave him and his property vulnerable, but endear him to the other families. Slowly, through a lot of verbal manipulation and betrayal, Oswald stole....a ton of money, from a lot of different people. It only made him more and more confident.

Still, despite all he'd done to get where he was, he hadn't really understood that people in this business do whatever it takes to get ahead. Someone snitched on him to his boss, and he was very quickly dragged right back to where he'd started. Oz was briefly tortured for his disloyalty (where he got his blind eye), and then dragged to a scrap yard, where he was put into an old car under a car crusher.

Luckily, the scrap yard they took him to used a very outdated, very slow machine, so Oz was able to figure out a way to escape undetected. It did, however, leave him with a permanently mangled leg, which he didn't have the means to treat at the time. Instead, he used the remaining time to put his escape plan into action. He collected the money he'd squirreled away and took his forged documents onto a boat headed to America, never saying a word to the family he'd leave behind. As long as the world thinks the person he used to be is dead, they're safe, so he's accepted he can never speak to them again.

Gotham City, the world capital of crime, was the perfect place to build his own criminal empire. He doesn't regret anything that lead to where he is now, but sometimes he does miss what he used to have, though he'll kill you before he admits it. But the way he treats the younger members of the rogues gallery - like wayward younger siblings to reluctantly corral - proves that there's a heart somewhere under all of that ice.

AAAHHH!!! MILOU!!!! MILOU ANSWERED ME FROM ASTON MARTIN STORE 😭😭😭😭💚💚💚💚

LANCE TEDDY IS COMING, EVERYBODY!!!!!! THE TEDDY BEARS WILL HOLD PAWS!!!!

day 2 of rarepair week: nicknames

this takes place in my domesticated morro au where he pretends to be evil and briefly joins the SoG. they’re haters but they also have crushes on eachother hear me out

also echo has better insults

Came across some slasher band AU art by @arkunder and started frothing at the mouth

I like to imagine they'd do really performative concerts with the ghostface persona, like "killing" actresses on stage and being overall destructive to the point of losing gigs in nicer places so their fans don't completely wreck everything in a mosh pit (that they initiated) lmfao

Stu's the campiest bitch on the block (as expected)

Love the headcanon of NIfty, Alastor and Husk having been kind of a trio for years before Alastors absence. Because it would imply that they had taken part in previous 'projects' and 'missions' of the Radio Demon. Which gives Husk staying drunk for most of the beginning and being completely detached from everything and everyone kind of sad because maybe he already has gone through having taken actual interest in the people who were part of one of Alastors plans only to have to watch them die or perhaps even kill them later on. But this time, as Husk allows himself to think, things are different. The Princess of Hell is involved, Alastor is not as free as he once was and has in fact acted mostly disinterested in the HOtels overall mission. Nifty talking to Alastor about how she 'likes them' because they let her put on her show could in this context explain that there had been previous jobs where the people had not been as accepting of her eccentric behavior.

But this also implies that as soon as the Hotel served its purpose and Alastor gets free thanks to the favour Charlie promised him and some careful planning, that the three of them will leave.

That Husk (who is faced with a Boss that is quite happy and less on edge now that he is free) will have to leave.

Hero reading to Skeptic and TLQ?

I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK ME SO LONG! This concept just gripped me by the heart and I could not live with myself if I didn't give it the love and time it deserved. Obviously as the most literate of the group Hero is the dedicated storyteller. Narrator and Princess both are semi-literate (with the former having vision issues he would rather die than admit to), but Hero as a regular employee can read no problem! He prefers to read fantasy and adventure books, but his little library has grown quite large from novels found in some of the abandoned facilities and occasionally requests for specific genres from their friends. Hero used to read things fairly blandly but as he has gotten comfortable he has started doing voices more! TLQ often likes to close their eyes and just zone out to the stories. He likes to imagine himself in them and pretend they're about when he, Princess, and Narrator are finally free of their contracts and can go explore space proper. I am sure he has actually fallen asleep at least once during a story. Skeptic LOVES to listen to reading. While detective novels are obviously his favorite he enjoys any and all books he can listen to. Often he will request Hero explain how things might smell or sound because he cannot understand the image adjectives, so Hero has to try and make those details up. Hero has gotten fairly decent at it by now, but it was an inconsistent mess at the start. Honestly Hero would make a fairly decent DnD DM.

FINALLY MADE THE COMIC!! Based on @enderpearlll​ ‘s fanfic “My Favorite Employee” , enjoy!!
