My Rising Seniority

When I started this job, less than two years ago, I was the 5th programmer on the team. Within 6 months, there were four new programmers. Nine of us!

And as of today, there are four. And, with less than two years under my belt here, I have the second-highest seniority on the team.

I suspect all the (former) old-timers know something I don't. I also suspect my work-load is about to balloon.
