My boss recently transfered to my team a lady that was lacking very basic skills. I was, and still am happy to mentor her, and have her in our team, like everyone else who joins us. But I suspect that the only reason we keep her is my manager's KPI that is driven by the (well known) views of higher managent in our company. This makes me feel very bad towards all those candidates I rejected that had much more experience than her, but still not enough for the roles we are recruiting for (we set the bar pretty high). This favoritism is implicitly discrimination against these candidates. But you don't fix discrimination with more discrimination. Instead of moving forward, we repeat the same mistakes with different decoration. I want to move somewhere far away :(
