Where the boss's nephew got promoted over the person who really deserved it just because he was the boss's nephew. Actually , he couldn't do the job at all and lost the company business. And no, I was not the one who deserved the promotion.

Just recently I was past over for a directorship. I found out that the one who was hired was really friendly with the boss and virtually has no supervision skills. So it was really convenient that no supervision questions for a director was asked during the interview. That just sucks.

The president of the company I worked for grew it from one small office in a medium-sized government contractor, to a huge company with many offices, mostly through acquiring smaller companies. The president of one of those smaller acquired companies convinced the board of directors that he could do a better job then she could. She was let go, he took over. He was a total moron. Most of the middle management (including me) quit, and the company folded a few months later.
