To make this short and sweet I work with a small team of individuals. However our manager is best friends with someone on our team and while this doesn't effect us too much on a personal level, career wise it's posing a problem as multiple individuals have been waiting for recommendations to go to other sectors of our business but have not got anything back, but this other individual who is the favorite has been named and head of all these unofficial roles within our team.
To me this poses red flags, but my co worker seems to think I'm overreacting. Thoughts?
