Proposal: Chain of Command

Times out 7-1 with 1 unresolved DEF. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 20 Jan 2022 16:14:19 UTC

In “Job Titles”, replace “Within each Department, an Employee may be said to be managing all other Employees with less senior hierarchal titles than themselves, and may be said to be being managed by all other Employees with a more senior hierarchal title than themselves.” with (if “Senioritis” enacted):-

Within each Department, an Employee may be said to be managing all Employees whose Seniority is exactly one less than their own, and may be said to be being managed by all Employees whose Seniority is exactly one greater than their own.

If Senioritis failed, instead replace it with:-

Within each Department, an Employee may be said to be managing all Employees whose hierarchal title is one step less senior below than their own, and may be said to be being managed by all Employees whose hierarchal title is one step more senior than their own.

If “Thinking Inside The Box” enacted, remove “but manages nobody” from the rule “Job Titles”.

A vice-president doesn’t care what the interns are doing.

Are “greater” or “less” defined in relation to the hierarchy? Or on track to be defined? We are using “more senior” and “less senior” at the moment, I think.

If Senioritis enacts then we get nice unambiguous numbers for it (“An Employee’s Seniority may be determined by the number of the rank that Employee holds per the above list; for instance, the CEO has a Seniority of 8, and an Intern has a Seniority of 0.”), but you’re right, it doesn’t really work in that second blockquote. I’ve rewritten it to “one step less/more senior”.
