job "handed" to unqualified employee without posting

A position for which I was qualified for at my company was created and handed to another employee as a reward - she is by no means qualified. Are employers required to post jobs internally before giving them to an employee?

Generally speaking, no. But quite often this can be part of a discrimination scenario....perhaps the company targeted the position for one sex only.

Also, different rules may apply if the company is a government contractor subject to some still existing eeo requirements.
