Most of the people at the company I work at have been here for more than a decade. This attracted me when I first looked at the company, thinking that people like it enough to want to stay for a long time. Besides, the company must be loyal to its employees to keep them around that long. However, I have since seen the drawback to this phenomenon. If nobody ever leaves, then there are never any openings for promotion available.
The situation has gotten so bad lately that people have started making personal attacks on people higher up on the chain. For example, they wait for them in the parking lot and try to run them down when they are walking out to their cars. Who knew that competition for a job would get so intense?! The only good thing for me is that I’m at the bottom of the chain, so nobody has it out for me. And I’m pretty sure nobody has yet suspected that I’m the parking lot hit-and-run bandit.
