Answer:

Unprofessional hiring

Step-by-step explanation:

I was working as an intern in an organization, that i shall not name, and there I came upon such a situation. i studied in a reputed institute and had envisioned myself succeeding in every aspect of my life ahead. Things weren't going as i planned. In my college years i started doing an internship in a corporation where i envisioned myself to work in the future. Like every student working as an intern in a corporation, I aimed to secure a job in that structure and worked diligently to secure it, however, such is not always the case. I presented my best in the work and managed to gain the approval of my heads as a candidate for the future. Nearing my three months internship period. I came upon the knowledge that the hiring for the department was already done and I was not the one selected. This information came as a shock because the hired individual not only the lowest ranked intern but also the son of the owner's friend. Our performances in the offices had glaring differences but i was overshadowed by the relation my colleague's father had with the owner. I thought of protesting and putting my case to my heads but it seemed pointless and a weakness of my own character. I moved on from that phase and got somewhere much better but to this day I resent the unethical behavior of a renowned corporation. The moment taught me to keep business and emotions aside for the collide with one another. My opinion of such practices have now been hardened and I detest such practices even if I am at the delivering end. The only way to succeed and stay at the top is to have the best team.
