Corruption is a deliberate and intentional act of wrongdoing; corruption is neither a mistake, carelessness nor negligence - corruption is carefully planned and executed. Corruption is dishonest and/or fraudulent conduct perpetuated by those holding positions of power within an organisation to acquire a personal benefit.
Abuse of discretion is the misuse of powers combined with decision-making. Cronyism is the appointment of associates or friends to positions of authority without due process or the proper regard to their qualifications, experience or merit.
Nepotism is favouring family connections while clientelism involves the exchange of goods or services for support that may be quid-pro-quo, better known as a favour for a favour. Favourism on the other hand is the practice of giving unfair and preferential treatment to an individual or group at the expense of another - once again regardless of merit.
So I am seeing flagrant disregard for proper process, promotions that are not merit based circumnavigating formal structures, employment agreements and ethical boundaries. The question is, how do you report this these acts to the exact people engaging in unethical behaviour without ending your career in an organisation that has proven and ingrained workplace bullying behaviours? A moral and ethical dilemma.
