However, there is also a viewpoint that pay differentials based on seniority rather than actual contribution can undermine the motivation of the younger generation and exacerbate generational tensions in the workplace. To what extent do you agree or disagree that such a compensation structure should be based on employees' years of service? Provide your reasons and support them with specific examples.
