Nepotism blows and unfortunately, it happens quite a lot. I used to work for a large company and this sort of thing went on all the time - not with their relatives because this was a large corporate organisation - but with a particular band of people whom had all worked there since they left school / uni and had formed a very solid club. If you weren't accepted into this club or even dared to be outspoken about said club you had little chance of promotion. In fact there was a good chance you would shipped off to another crap department for no apparent reason other than 'we thought your skills would be best suited here'.... kind of BS. So I did what you did mate and left, never looked back except to say ***K YOU!

pretty much to the word my work is the same as that and im starting to look for a new job now, been there for 3 years and had enough, basically because stay home with my family instead of going drinking and wasting my wage on a weekend with the bosses i dont deserve a pay rise although i work harder and better then the other fella's lol

Family isn't always treated better. I used to work for the mum-in-law. She sacked me via text message over one ****ing job that went over the quoted time whereas other employees that weren't related were given chance after chance after chance.
