Hello y'all,
I am just trying to find out if it is illegal to hire someone from outside the workplace to do a job that was never posted and that someone else (me) is MORE qualified to do.
Yes, it's unethical, but it is illegal? If it is, I'm ready to fight these jerks.
This girl was a former employee and was called in her job outside this company to see if she would like to come back and take this job. She accepted the position. I was sent to open the clinic until she could get there (her 2 week notice) and am MUCH more qualified than she is, but the job was never posted!
Please advise - thanks much.

It's not illegal at all. If you're employed by a union shop it might be contrary to the collective bargaining agreement but if you're in a non-union shop the employer is free to hire anyone they please to perform any job function. OK is now a "right to work" state so even a collective bargaining agreement may not protect you.
Ethics doesn't come into the picture either. What's unethical about it?? Just because you think that you should have been offered the job doesn't make it unethical!
