Positions in hierarchy

Statuses is the plural of status, referring to multiple positions, conditions, or states of affairs.

In social media, statuses are the updates people post: She scrolls through her friends' statuses every morning.

In bureaucratic contexts, it tracks categories: The form asks about your marital and employment statuses.
