Yeh, its true. Its also why you see a lot of people moving to 5 different companies within 15 months in this industry. A friend hires them, they can't hack it and "move on to better opportunities", where another friend hires them, they can't hack it again and find another sucker to give them a "great opportunity".

Don't hire friends. Hire people that can do the job and you won't be constantly on the lookout for the next "great acquisition".
