Hotel owner forces his lead landscaper to train his incompetent nephew to take over his job, nepotism leads to a property fire that burns the place down: 'The nephew seemed more concerned with playing Pokemon than working'

When you play with fire, you're going to get burned. Luckily for this all-star landscaper, he dodged a scathing property fire after his nepo-hire replacement dared to burn the place down.

Incompetence comes in many forms, but none are more frustrating than in the workplace. You expect newly hired employees to put their back into it and try their best during training, soaking up their new job's tasks like a sponge in order to do their best. However, with nepo-hires—the unfireable family member of the owner—that's never the case. Usually, nepotism hires are the worst employees, essentially ensuring the destruction of the company brick by brick.

So when this hotel landscaper found out he was being replaced by his boss's clownish nephew, he decided to let the nepotism run its course.

And I'd like to think that the weeds still came back…
