Again. I really don’t see the purpose of the discussion. There are hundreds of companies that do not have a seniority system. You can apply there if you don’t fancy seniority.
besides that I think it is extremely selfish to, now that you experience a crisis, think you could jump the que whereas there are plenty of guys / girls (myself included) who have been made redundant before and accepted to start at the bottom again. We have a few Thomas Cook guys who just did that...
