    Just racked up 26 years service 😯

    Granted I’ve been able to move round a bit, but still a bloody long time

    Who’s going to make me feel like the new boy and out do me by a decade or more?

    26 years

    😯

    I think longest Ive put up with the same people is about 4yrs at a time 🙂

    However, Ive been self employed/freelance for the last 8yrs so I may finally have found someone Im happy working with…

    To bloody long. 11 years.

    I regret leaving my 1st job, I would’ve had 43 years in on the council! Should never have left.

    Not me, (7 years here) but my dad retired in April just gone, at 63, having got the job when he was 18.

    5 months at this one but 8 years before that doing the same thing at a different company.

    May be having reservations about this decision. Possible “what should I do with my life” thread to follow.

    Edit: just wondering, what is the worst long service gift anyone has been given. I know someone who has just done 15yr at a multinational company in a pretty respectable position and he got given a photo frame that would have cost about £2 from a market stall.

    14 years in 2 stints, I had a 6 month break for a disastrous career change about 6 years ago.

    I was just thinking ’12’, then I realised another year has passed – where the flip did that year go?

    15 years, though to be fair, I’m in the telecoms industry, so my colleagues have all changed….several times

    Coming up for 11 years, but in two stints – first one being 9. After almost 2 years, still not sure if I should have come back

    Around 13 years. My boss is an arsehole. I have no idea how I’ve put up with him for this long.

    I had 33 years (to the day!) when I retired though.

    13 months. I’d I like to stay for a bit longer but it’s not a job I want for too long.

    4 months but 18 years with my colleagues.

    Together through spin-offs, take-overs, redundancy, start-ups, administration, redundancy, and a partial take-over (hence the 4 months bit).

    But today was my last day and I start a new job next month!

    Just entered my 37th yr 😆
    Like p.d.f the job has remained basically the same, fixing machines, but with down sizing/reorganisation etc there has always been change. Last year was the beginning of a new chapter with an in at the deep end, steep learning curve change again.
    Pay day this weekend, 19(monthly)left to go 😆 😆

    8 and a bit years. Still enjoying it most of the time.

    9 years at my last job, about 4 years too long but glad I didn’t make it double figures.

    I worked with someone who had had over 30 jobs since leaving school and he was only in his 30s!

    I’ve worked for me for just over three years.

    I’m the best employer I’ve ever had as I just let myself get on with it. Down side is I make myself work very hard indeed.
