The longest I've ever been at a job is a little over 14 years. That was a long time....
29 years??? Pfffft... I've been MARRIED five years longer than that.
Now THAT'S work....
Now THAT'S work....
Wow, that's a long time. My dad has been at the same place for almost 40 years.
In August, I reckon I'll have spent just over half my life at my current company (In fact, the only one I've worked at). Job wise, it's a little less but it sure has gone quickly.
what do you do?
Shit, just ten years ago I was paying 0.89 a gallon of unleaded, ST:TNG was still not off the air that long, Clinton ws using cigars in a manner not conforming to the labeling, and we were still dicking around with the lying & evasive North Korea (a lesson two presidents later Obama has FAILED to learn).
I could go to Taco Bell and get a taco for 0.59 cents at certain locations. Not it's 0.89.
And Jerry Goldsmith was still alive.
Certain not better times, but still beating what today is offering.

^^^ An engineer told me that at the firm she worked at previously, they would discard employment applications from people who had worked a few years here and then a few years there, etc. Working your way up the ladder, so to speak.
Some may consider changing employers every few years as a positive sign of ambition and a natural course in a career, some employers may not regard it so highly.

True. But if they've got that kind of mindset, I certainly wouldn't want to work for them anyway.
Mind you, my medium-term plans involve working for nobody, so I guess I'm not the ideal person to talk to when it comes to working long-term for a company!
I work for DND in a warehouse for the Canadian Forces, as a storesperson/Truck driver.
Gee thanks Dude or is it Dudette??Just to make you feel even older...
...I was born five years after you started working there.
The longest I ever worked was 12 years and 3 months in the Army.
