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.

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States. For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

Confectionery

Image
Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
