I firmly believe that my discipline of Technology is a “meritocracy”. Recently, I heard the term “mirroracracy” wherein you try to hire people who most look like you, or otherwise reflect your values, etc. You do this under the guise that they are the most qualified, when really you are just flattering yourself thinking you (the manager) represent the best candidate.
