Well in that case it is not really discrimination per say.They just hire friends which really is not illegal.
I am speaking generally here...
Even a good HR person does not always pick the most qualified person.A person does have to "fit" into the company they are applying for and "fit in" to a specific job.A more qualified person may not have the attitude that a less qualified person has.There are many factors in hiring.The idea is to hire the best fit for the position that is not always the most qualified person.
Another factor with jobs and promotions no matter what someone is going to feel left out or offended.Not getting a job or a promotion is always a let down.
Take into account that what you have been told is hear say.I would also have to know the personality of the person making the claims as well.
What exactly is this business? Small company or large what kind of work (sounds like lower level factory work which sucks anyway).
If the claims are true it likely is a crap organization anyway and either find another job or deal with it until a better one comes along if it is that bad.Of course most every job has some buddy system stuff going on,brown noses, back stabbers,people that claim others work. Even the military is not free from this we called it "below the desk".
