Well, I'd be what is considered "Second Wave" or "Opportunist".
Why? Because I can't fathom staying in the same job for decades, with no substancial increase in pay, no increase in responsibilities (or at least an increase recognized by the company). To do the same job day in and day out is, in my opinion, a total waste of life.
Let's face it... the "Dinosaur" type knows *A LOT* about the company. She knows whose toes not to step on, she knows who does what and how to do the job of everyone in the office. So why does she settle for being the admin? Why doesn't she go for the Office Manager? It's very puzzling to me.
Now on the other hand, when I realize that I have no where to go in a company beyond where I am, I'll keep an eye open to better opportunity in OTHER companies. But I can't sit still in one place forever and be happy about it.
Just my views
