        Yes but he didn’t say reverse nepotism he said reverse nepobaby as it wasn’t the parent getting the child a job but the other way round. It’s still nepotism but nepobaby is a more specific term.

        The vast majority of the time, nepotism refers to a patent giving their children special privileges due to the power the parent has.

        The word itself comes from from the Italian word for “nephew”, because of a trend of “nephews” of popes getting special privileges (often, these were the popes’ illegitimate sons).

        Reverse nepotism is where your dad goes around to anywhere that might hire you and badmouths you until they won’t.
