Despite Mehran Makvandi's removal from the position of CEO at the National Drilling Company, the issue of nepotistic and family-based hiring during his management period remains a serious challenge.
Family and Clan Hiring
During Makvandi's management, at least 9 close family members, including three of his wife's brothers, a brother-in-law, his own son, and his nephew, were hired by the National Drilling Company. This hiring trend was not limited to family but extended to clan support as well. According to informed sources, many of the employees hired during Makvandi's management were employed solely because they belonged to the Makvandi clan.
Continuation of Nepotistic Hiring
Makvandi's dismissal due to corruption and nepotistic management has not ended this trend in the company. Given that Makvandi still retains membership on the board of directors, several members of the Makvandi clan have been hired in the past month by exerting pressure on the new management.
Silence of the Board and Consequences
The silence of other board members in the face of this apparent corruption and misconduct is one of the reasons why one of the major state companies is moving towards gathering clan-based employees without the necessary expertise. This situation has led to a decline in the company's work process and an increase in damages and losses in this organization.
