That leads to the question are there any saveguards against nepotism and
bribery, and how well do they work?
And is organizing a cozy job for someone you know, seen as some asocial
behaviour, or as perk, that comes with working with the service allocation
office?
Is there a pocedure, for voicing objections, if you believe the service
allocation office has made an error in your test, or if you assume your
assignment is due to corruption? If so, how well do they work and what
does the population at large believe, about how well they work?
And given it is a corporate state, are things different for heirs of large
shareholders?
