Maybe rank and seniority matter too much. The question is whether he is genuinely the best person available for the job.Kraken wrote: Wed Dec 18, 2024 10:25 pm Rank and seniority matter. If this fellow waited 15+ years for his turn AND he now has cancer, maybe he deserves to grab the brass ring at last. (I'm assuming that he's qualified to do the job.) If he's near the end of his career and/or life, it will open up again in due time.
If I didn't know how old you are, I'd be able to tell from your post here.Kraken wrote: Wed Dec 18, 2024 10:25 pm Rank and seniority matter.

It absolutely is. I am not sure I've heard anyone speak anything about Connolly ever. But I guess he's been there long enough that he knows "the rules" and won't rock the boat, so let's make sure he's in charge.
Shut up or move to the back of the line, whippersnapper. You aren't ready yet.Smoove_B wrote: Thu Dec 19, 2024 11:34 amIf I didn't know how old you are, I'd be able to tell from your post here.Kraken wrote: Wed Dec 18, 2024 10:25 pm Rank and seniority matter.

Every workplace I've ever endured has been filled with Boomers that refuse to step aside or allow anyone else to hold any type of power.
It's also totally dysfunctional - which is all that ultimately matters.Smoove_B wrote: Thu Dec 19, 2024 11:34 amIf I didn't know how old you are, I'd be able to tell from your post here.Kraken wrote: Wed Dec 18, 2024 10:25 pm Rank and seniority matter.

If by some reason it happens, they're quite salty about it because there's a belief that person didn't "earn" it by putting in the time. Maybe it's something that tilts heavy towards the public sector, but it's tiresome. AOC is whip-smart, she has a connection with a younger generation of voters and she's clearly demonstrated political savvy. But she's also tapped into "scary" ideas that are against the establishment so she can't be "rewarded" with any type of political power within the party - not when we have norms to maintain!
It's gross.
