Do not go to HR, you will be next on the layoff list. Best thing to do is move on.
I worked on a project where the lead's daughter worked on the project as an engineer. It was a joke and destroyed moral. The lead had no business being a lead in the first place. Then to have his daughter on the project as a engineer was really hard to watch.
