Mmm I would have to say this raises several issues for me.

In particular, how on earth did the "friend" get hired?  Excuse my ignorance, but isn't their a hiring procedure that HR have to follow?

There was some "favouritism" in a previous company I worked for and really I found it quite disgusting that individuals were liked, praised and helped along in their career whilst others were left behind, ignored and forgotten about.

Personally and this is only my opinion, I couldn't work for any company or individual where this kind of behaviour went on.  If it did happen again, I would just keep my head down until I was able to find another job and move on.
