I'm so tired of blatant favoritism and nepotism here. hard workers are rarely if ever recognized for their contributions, while people who are mediocre at best get frequent praise and are promoted over the better workers on regular bases.
It's all about who you know, not what you know and what you can do. I've seen complete incompetence be rewarded with a promotion. How? why? Only the management knows. The management that is either friends or family with those promoted.
This is not just one department, either. This is prevalent all over the company. It's driving good people away. I can't understand how it continues to happen in this day and age...
