[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) younger people should run the errands. They have more energy.

2) buy new filing cabinets for everyone. It's not that expensive.  If you really can't, then people with seniority get the newer ones.

3) people with seniority also get to choose more how to divvy up the tasks. It kind of sucks as the young one, but you'll be in their shoes soon enough. Besides, the older ones probably aren't as big of slackers as you think. [/quote]

This is only true if the older ones have worked there longer. [/quote]

OP here. I am actually the one on the team with the most seniority in this workplace, but the older ones have worked in the profession for longer. We don't control when/how we get new supplies. We work for the county (teachers). No money for things like choosing when we want new file cabinets. This one just appeared and we were told it had been ordered for our team since a few of us were sharing one.  I honestly don't care about the file cabinets--just the idea that I'm being told to "respect my elders" in the workplace before we even make decisions.
