Interesting set of reviews for Encores' Working. The Times again didn't care much for the show and everybody else did. But I found the Times' reasons far more convincingly laid out than the others'.
Since I gather Larry was not part of this WORKING, I will say this:
this strikes me as so strange, and confirms and amplifies my feeling in my legal struggles with these scofflaws that the place is a favoritism world unto itself. They seem proud, as both are depicted in the show, that the person checking bags is the daughter of the main security person, and that a father and son both work in the box office. Let alone (which you shouldn't) that someone from outside who might be a lot better in those responsible positions did not get those jobs, and no search at all was done for the best person possible!
"Mr. Sillah and his daughter Fatou "
"Ron... a box office manager, and his son and co-worker, Jon"
Seriously, any accountant or HR person could expound on the disasters in the making of having relatives working together in the same job handling sales (father and son both work box office, anything goes wrong, they will band together) and a daughter reporting to her father the security head (oh my god if the daughter ever needs to be given a bad performance review by another employee; it's nearly a guarantee the daughter will stay and the person who complains about her will be gone).
At this venue, they're actually so proud of the nepotism that they put it in the show!
