Answer 3

Wow, this is interesting.

The idea that one person has more power because they are older is just crazy.

I believe that if one person believes they have more power, they could just abuse and become very harsh.

Answer 4

From my perspective working in a pharmacy laboratory, as a new employee, it is an unfair system since the more experience employees get "first dibs" at the daytime hours, replacement shifts, and authorized overtime. It means that less experienced employees are given little to no hours, and if they do get hours, it is usually the less desirable ones such as evenings and weekends.

Answer 5

Seniority overlooks ability.
