Think of certain manerisms that people in upper management use or do.  You know, the big wigs around the office or town.  I'll start, for instance: 1)  The over obnoxious drive 'em home laugh.  You know the kind where they laugh at things loudly and in a quick manner showing their superiority to the inferior around them.  They might do this when kicking or curbstomping kittens or making fun of how their Insurance Premium plans will cut grandma's basic needs while still being legal. 2)  Ending conversations in quick manners like, youbetbye, in other words,  "You bet, bye", even if it doesn't pertain grammatically to what the other person said.  You know like if someone says, "hey, what's happening", and you reply "good", where you meant "not much" and the other way around. List away!

I always like the practice what your preach idea. Go off on a idea, but then when it comes down to it change it to fit your needs.

Hmm.... guess I don't have much to go on here.  All is quite good in the current workplace.  Everyone is pretty down to earth

And here's a little summary of the B.S. I deal with in senority issues.  When I changed departments over a year ago, I was put on the bottom of the totem pole to two Russian workers who are 2 years younger than me and worked in the company only 2 years compared to my 5 years.  Department wise, they worked only a year longer than me.  I don't complain about it since it's not really affecting me much, and don't like to get too much into senority issues anyways.  Then our department added another person, someone who is a few years older than I and worked at the company for 8 years and he gets presidence over me.  I would understand this more, but do you see the logic not quite right? ***Summary Top to Bottom in order of Senority  -The formating justifies everything to the left Totem Pole           Company Yrs  |  Dept Yrs  |  Age Russian#1                      3                       3              25 Russian#2                      2                       1              25 OtherEmployee              8                       0.5           31 Me                                    5.5                    1.5           27
