What can be done about a Boss who is showing favoritism to other workers?

Question

Our new Boss is showing favoritism towards some of the workers that he laughs or talks with often.
Some of us who have more seniority than these workers have been moved from our spot who were there for years, and these workers have been placed in our spot. He also would tell us certain rules to follow like for example only a 30 minute lunch break, and the ones he jokes and laugh with or who he is attractive to,stay gone for an hour to an hour and 30 minutes without nothing being said. They would be seen sitting in his office laughing and talking, while the rest of us are working. Many of us have complained among ourselves, and this has gotten back to him. He had a meeting with us saying that he does not show favoritism, and he does not have to explain why he put people in certain spots, and was fussing at us like we are children. What can be done to rectify this because it is still going on? I have gotten to the point where I do not like my job anymore, and I cannot leave because finding another job is hard to find these days.

If that boss is hired by the company (doesn't own the business), you can always file a complaint against him so he can be disciplined. Have a written complaint signed by the other co-workers who were also placed by him at a disadvantage.

One statement stands out: "Many of us have complained among ourselves, and this has gotten back to him."

Apparently there's a snitch among you, or someone overheard. Be careful of what you say, to who you say it, and where.

Meanwhile, there's really nothing you can do.  Favoritism's in every workplace. The way I dealt with it, was in finding something I truly loved doing outside the workplace to "ease the pain." Writing, photography, crafts, the list is endless. Develop your passion even if it's only during weekends, and who knows? You could turn it into your own business and leave the schoolyard behavior behind.

Wishing you the best.

I work in the same kind of environment.  There isnt anything you can do about it, unless one of these people step over the line and do something totally illegal, then you can go from there.

At the company I work at, nepotism and favoritism is part of the unwritten company policy.
There is nothing that you can do about it, unless you win the lottery and buy the company and dissolve it.

while human beings develop previous - they like human beings greater beneficial than they did of their adolescents. in addition they understand the meaning and cost of human existence. you're right here on the instant - and you shouldn't be there the following day - she is making an attempt to make each and on a daily basis suitable. She has solid intentions yet her behaviour is inflicting a stir and is unprofessional. enable her be conscious of that courteously which you're uncomfortable. not each and every touch is sexual or has a evil rationalization for it. i used to be very actual guy or woman myself - in spite of the undeniable fact that it replaced into purely because of the fact i replaced into overly sencitive and valued human beings. I constantly theory i does not see them the following day.

I would grin and bear if. Don't come across as jealous or angry with the situation. Join in the laugh if you can. Rise above it, and don't let it bother you. Work places can be much worse this :(
