That is funny thing, where people think that someone will come over and "promote them to senior".
Reality is when you do "glue work" more and more you become senior and only then you should be promoted to reflect reality.
- CaptArmchair 6y agoI think the term "glue work" somewhat hides the importance of building strong professional relationships and being able to develop as a human within your peer group. That ability, though, hinges entirely on the affordances provided by an equitable social context. That is: mutual respect, acceptance, understanding, open mindedness and so on. In that regard, the earning the title "senior" isn't just a reflection of your own maturity, who is awarded that title is just as much a reflection of workplace culture, it's values and the available opportunities.
