apparently this is something that happened to fiance's friend who lives in Pennsylvania and they were discussing it by phone
1. i think the gal got screwed over as its fishy the lady that got the promotion was hired roughly a month ago after being encouraged to apply for the job by the hiring manager.
2. i think it would be very hard to prove any sort of discrimination
what i think we have here is a case of the buddy system in hiring screwing over some folks who deserve the job based on the merits of their accomplishments, seniority and qualifications who were passed over in favor of someone who happened to be a friend of the right manager.
