    I can't believe I'm actually wasting time on this but here goes...........

    I have two assistants, one is more senior than the other i.e. they have more responsibility. The one with more responsibility is called my senior assistant. They both have career development paths in place which means the more senior one is being groomed for management within the next two years - possibly in my department, possibly in another. The other assistant is being trained to move into the senior role when a vacancy becomes available. My senior assistant is a very long way from being in charge - that's my role - but I recognise her contribution to my team which is why she is more senior of the two.

    Why don't you stop wasting everyone's time and get out and live a life instead of asking incessant questions on here about what that life could or should be like.

    I see, that's how it works then if there is a clear structure.

    no - then they would be a team leader, assistant manager or manager

    I am a senior (NOT because of my age!!) I am there to advise, assist and deal with issues that my colleagues cant, however much as I like to think I am, I am not in charge :D

    What does it take to become a senior?

  • Do they really use fish gut to make guitar strings?
    Dunno, but some violin strings are made out of "cat gut" doesn't come from a cat but a horse :)
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    The ability to bend over and touch your toes. :eek:
    You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.

    Cluster bombs are unguided. They disperse 'bomblets' over a large area and then explode.

    Yes, where I work middle managers are paid the same as junior managers. Support staff have no real career structure or anything like that.
