moving up

I was referring to a high school assignor who said that nobody would ever move up unless one of the vets died. That's called status quo. That insinuates that there is no chance for advancement regardless of ability. Advancement should be through ability and officials can improve (or degrade). To make a blanket statement like that is ridiculous and IMHO, unethical. It sure wouldn't fly in my area.

I think you are taking the comment too literally. Basically someone has to be replaced in order for an official to move up. I think that was the point of the comments and a reason I have heard similar comments in the past. And for the record, if that comment was made in my area, there is no one to report to. This is not an issue for the state. Not sure how a state has a say over anything like that? We are independant contractors, the state I would think would have no say over who gets hired and who does not get hired.
