The article “Making it to the top 1%, with a little help from dad“, from the Globe and Mail caught my attention because I have seen some version of this-maybe not the top 1%- in my life. This article brings up the fact that some children are just given a position in their parents company, resulting in them receiving a high salary and a big title. However, this also brings up the fact that some children do have to work just as hard as anyone else to get somewhere in their family’s company and are not given a ‘free ride’. What because troublesome here is that children then have to fight the people who assume no matter what kind of  effort that is put in, the child will get way more than anyone else, despite their levels of productivity or effort. This adds even more pressure to the child, however, if the pressure hits him or her the right way it could add as motivation to do even better in the workplace-proving all those nay-sayers wrong, which in the end improves the company as a whole.
