Working for a family-owned business….

The nepotism is REAL. Been at this job for a year and a half. It's an office job in Texas for reference. I have a coworker who is the daughter of the owner. Office employees are salary. She comes into work only on Mondays and Fridays now for about 4-5 hours each of those days. Still gets paid her full 40-hour salary, which is about double of what I am currently making. She is constantly behind on her work (one example, she's behind 6 months of reconciling CC statements) and never takes the help I offer her. I am always caught up on all my work and even have time to spare. I am beyond fed up. I have complained and nothing gets done about it. I am told she can do what she wants and not to worry about it.

I am always caught up on all my work and even have time to spare. I am beyond fed up. I have complained and nothing gets done about it. I am told she can do what she wants and not to worry about it. They gave me more work to do a couple months ago, which I was fine with, I had been asking for more to do. More work equals more pay, right? Well, I was wrong. The year is almost over and there are no raises happening this year for us office workers. Yet, they have it in their budget to buy 5 new luxury vehicles to 'rent' out to people for a side business. Anytime I complain about anything I get the whole 'well, life's not fair' spiel. Just curious if others have had similar situations and what did you do in those scenarios? I just feel like I'm losing my mind at this job.
