This is a problem only if you suspect he is moving his "friend" because his friend got moved to a difficult table and somehow communicated that he wants to move again.
Typically getting moved in a tournament is a disadvantage. This is because the rest of the table knows each other and you know nobody. However, if a table is particularly difficult then getting moved off the table is an advantage.

I play a lot of tournament poker and structure is very important. These are considered factors. These guy don't redraw at 36 players, they don't use machine shufflers. Only the final table and then redraw.
This is typical for most rooms.

They break the table from big to small so If you got small table you're screwed. Tables should be drawn random to be broken.
Most rooms break tables in a particular order in order to accommodate staffing. It is rarely random. If you are curious how they break tables in a particular room just ask. Dealers usually know. But the Floor should also be able to tell you.

I've outlasted 80% entrants on same seat but that's it. I've suggested that they do a redraw at 36 or it's not a real tournament especially at 20 minutes round.
This is absurd.

He goes on and says it's the cost blah blah. I hate that annoying douch bag prick. They need to fire his ass. No professionalism and lack of people skill.
I guess this is where the "semi" comes from. You need to suck it up and focus on poker. The Floor is not doing anything wrong here.

Unless he is doing this after other players are seated this may be to accommodate bad vision or a handicap of some sort.

He issues the seating cards. He will sometimes play too. This is dirty. Is this illegal? Is there collusion? I have reported it to gaming commission already. Any ideas?
Here it gets interesting. If he is not randomly issuing seating cards then yes this is wrong. Very wrong. I would report this to the gaming commission if the seating cards are not randomly distributed (that is the Floor cannot look at the available seats and then choose one). And certainly he can't seat himself that way.
And we haven't even gotten to playing in a tourney he is Flooring. That would be so wrong I would not play there. This I would also report to the gaming commission.

I'm pissed because he screw me over when I was chip leader many times. I ended up min cash because I was put in last table which I can't move.
Get a grip. You are not being screwed over. Learn to play better. It is a huge advantage to to not move, especially if the table is easy. Also, if you are not put there wouldn't somebody else be put there?

Again, this is not a disadvantage. I have a feeling that you are psyching yourself out. You have to learn how to ignore this. Luck is an element of poker. Getting seated at a difficult table is unlucky so learn to adjust. Getting seated at seat 1 table 1 makes no difference if the other players at the table are chosen randomly.

When you have a strong gut feeling It's true. Too many red flags. He and I have history that goes back. He over paid me 2k and I paid back the casino. It was his fault for giving me the chips to cash out. They're supposed to fire him but didn't. That time he was still new as director on probation. This place is dirty..favortism
I would recommend that you work on your people skills. It is very important to establish good relationships where you play. There may come a time where you will need support when things go wrong.
