Yeah, I think it’s about time to stop using that phrase, “low on the totem pole”. Remarkably ignorant and insensitive. You already even used the word “hierarchical”… we get it.



Could you explain for those of us who remain ignorant? Not really a phrase I tend to use anyway but it would be useful to understand the additional context.


Thanks for calling out that is considered an insensitive idiom. TIL I learned that it's factually incorrect, too.
