How do I explain the concept of seniority in the work place to an un happy employee?
Have a private talk with the employee. Make a list of the advance job tasks that the senior personal are called to do. Ask the employee to explain how he/she would go about doing the advanced tasks. By the end of the session, the employee should know that there are skills that have to be developed to join the ranks of seniority. Often it is not only the ability to do the job, it is the trust of coworkers and supervisors that has to be acquired. With an explanation of these factors, the unhappy employee needs to change his/her ways or seek employment elsewhere. You need to help this employee go if that is what they choose.
