>Even favor hires should have limits right? There's no way he'd ever become a full fledged sysadmin working alone right?
I'm sure the standards are so low that he only physically needs to show up on time, and barely do anything above that. Plus there is always the possibility that his Uncle knows something is up. The entire company might be at risk of crashing or going underwater or something. Not worth intervening, but worth keeping an eye on. They might be planning on laying off a bunch of people. This he gets unemployment, etc.

No, all of his coworkers are fairly competent and poke fun at him behind his back.
Uncle to my knowledge isn't C level or anything super high like that
Company has literally 0% of failing.
He's extremely incompetent when it comes to IT related stuff
If you give him a few hours he can install ubuntu following a guide but that's about the extent of his IT/sysadmin related ability

you could ask if he needs some help and tech him OP, you're supposed to be his friend after all...

I have similar friends; got into relatively high tech engineer position despite not being tech-savvy, thanks to a relative. They do eventually learn the trade and get competent, the problem is they tend to stagnate on their position. Maybe because they think they owe something to the relative/ can't move forwards on their own?

>how long is he going to last?
As long as his uncle does. The power that brought him in will keep him in.
