    One of the Secretaries at general Motors answered the question of her long and short term goals...

    Short term: (be promoted so) get company parking spot.

    Long term: to retire.

    Short term (to get a company parking spot). Explanation....that would be achieved by being promoted to level 8 from level five...could happen in just a few years.
