The recruiting manager led by bureaucracy to hire Mary. Bureaucracy is a system of government in which power is exercised by a body of officials who are appointed and not elected. In this case, the recruiting manager is an official who is appointed by the owner of the restaurant. The recruiting manager is not elected by the employees of the restaurant, so he or she is not accountable to them. This allows the recruiting manager to make decisions based on his or her own judgment, without having to worry about the opinions of others. In this case, the recruiting manager decided to hire Mary even though Peter was referred by the owner. The recruiting manager made this decision based on his or her own judgment, without having to worry about the opinions of the owner or the other employees.
