How can I refer to a person who is working at a job for the longest period of time.



For example, imagine there are 10 people who work at the same office and one of them, let's say Amanda, has been working there for 10 years. The duration at which the other employers have worked at the office is less than 10 years.



What is the proper way to say that Amanda has been working more than the others at the office.



Is there any adjective I can use? For example can I use "oldest" in this sense? (However, this question is nothing to do with age for sure)



This example environment can be changed to a neigborhood,an apartment building, a society, an organization






word-request idiomatic-language

Actually, the expression changes depending on the circumstance, in a job




the most senior person




is often used to refer to the one there longest, but can also mean the highest in the heirarchy.




oldest




often gets used, but can be confused with chronological age, usually additional context is provided.




oldest tenured employee
longest serving employee
oldest resident in the apartment complex, first moved in...

    We can also say this employee has seniority over the other employees, although this is usually in the context of who receives promotions or other benefits not based on merit.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
