Want to be promoted? All you have to do is harass, demean, and suck up to the right person... Complain to HR... does absolutely nothing. So called HR does nothing when a complaint about sexism or racially biases is reported. Complain about favoritism... absolutely nothing happens even when you complain to corporate. The incompetent is promoted. Most forward thinking companies implement an all level review system so managers can be reviewed by those that work under them and not their friends that will look out for them and tell half truths.
