That’s a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that? Oh yeah, Hard thing to do when no growth and no substantial retirements with guys wanting to stay two more years as well. Stagnation has defined this guys career.

Hey man it's not stagnation, don't forget that age 67 gives YOU 2 more years of time in the seat too at the end of your career! Aren't you pumped to be able to work until almost 70!?

(And because this is the internet and I haven't had coffee yet, yes that's sarcasm)

Oh yeah! I’m jumping up clicking my heels at the very thought of continuing to wait. I love the long slow grind uphill in seniority and the size of our company. It’s perfect.

This thing ebbs and flows. It is what it is.

At least you didn’t spout off the old “Some day you’ll be senior”. When you shrink from the bottom and no one leaves it’s flowing the wrong way like a rip tide.

I’d say things are much worse than some ebb and flow. Let’s call it what it is….a shrinking, stagnant place where no career progression exists.

When I read "Aral" I mentally transposed the "r" with an "n." Somehow my interpretation seems more appropriate.
