[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a school and a relatively new teacher has befriended the principal. As in, they hang out outside of school and then the teacher posts it on FB and tags principal. Totally their prerogative to form a friendship , but new teacher has been given the best classroom and has also been afforded various other "perks" that other teachers have previously been reprimanded for. [b]It has created a dysfunctional work environment.[/b] [/quote]

Thank you for this.  This is my thought as well.  [/quote]
Duh. Favoritism breeds dysfunction in any environment... did you start this topic to lead us to this earth-shattering conclusion?
The issue for non-favorites in the office/family is how to deal with the situation. We can talk about this.[/quote]

Believe it or not, there are some people who think favoritism is perfectly okay and part of how the work world works.  They don't see it as an issue at all.  So before we can talk about how to deal with it, I wanted to at least get some confirmation that other people do in fact see it as an issue that not only isn't good for the non-favorites but also isn't good for the workplace.

But I did ask for people's experiences (and that includes what happened/how they dealt, no matter what side of it they were on).[/quote]
