Here's the deal. I've been in my department for about 3 years now. There is another employee who's been working at Kroger (Fry's Food) longer but not in the Dept. He was promoted after me. Then we have another employee who just got promoted to my Dept. but has been with the company longer than both of us. So my question is, does Senority apply to how long you've been with the Company or in a specific Department?
