and does not operate how the rest of the world operates.

I don't agree with this. Who you know, who you fuck, and who you are related to are key success factors in the real world too. I've worked in both government and the private sector, and rarely is the hardest worker or best leader promoted and recognized.

I've seen poor performing women and minorities promoted simply because leadership wanted to look progressive. I've seen management fawn over the pretty chicks, and I've seen friends and relatives of managers get special treatment.

Hollywood is just a magnification of what is going on everywhere.
