Seniority

Seniority: derived from senior, meaning : older in years or time of service, any elderly person or one more advanced in rank.
In today's society seniority is more linked to laziness. The longer someone is at a job the less and less they think they have to do, because after all they've got seniority. You want to impress the world, don't stand around saying " I've got x amount of years in this line of work" go out and do something and show the world that yes you have been at your job for many years, but in that time you have gained WISDOM not incompetence. Let's look at the word wisdom: the ability to make sound judgments; insight or intuition; extensive knowledge; an accumulated body of knowledge. Now let's look at incompetence: a lack of ability.
I know there are those of you out there that have a coworker or, God forbid, a boss that just doesn't have a clue of how the day to day things run at your work place, but hey, they put their time in and have gained the ever illustrious "Seniority" in which we must all strive to gain if we plan to get ahead in the workplace, because as you probably know, hard work only gets you a sore back.........
