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?
A little over 25 years.
15 years, though to be fair, I'm in the telecoms industry, so my colleagues have all changed....several times
Not been in i by myself but there doesn't seem to be a month go by where someone isn't getting a 40 year service award.
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
6 months in the current one, 21 years in the previous one
12 Years. But one of my colleagues is retiring after 36 years; and has worked in the same building for the entire time - 😯
Around 13 years. My boss is an arsehole. I have no idea how I've put up with him for this long.
9 months (3 of that we are actually closed).
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.
I've only had the one job, part time from 1983, full time since the day I left school in 1986 😐
3 years and need out , too far to travel for 17k a year !
31 years this year. Got an award at 25 and due another at 40 but might not be here then if I can get out early. (cnc machining) 1st year apprentice in 1984-take home pay was £46.50
15 years but pondering a change ( as always).
15 years come march. think it will see me to feet up time.
14 years this March!
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!
2 weeks for the current job, 10 years each for the 2 previous jobs.
14 yrs Started in Scarborough moved to Tamworth(6 months) Lichfield and now in Kendal hopefully will end up in Scotland 🙂
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 😆 😆
38 years 113 days 😉 you've just started come back when you've put some time in 😀
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!
been with them 23 years, 11 months, 16 days only 5 years, 1 month, 15 days to go
2 years in current job, 16 years in previous job.
been with them 23 years, 11 months, 16 days only 5 years, 1 month, 15 days to go
Lucky you. 25 years, 11 months, 15 days to go for me.
4 days today. Hope to stay the rest of my working life, I'm 42ish.
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.
11 years, longest job I've had but starting to get itchy feet
3 weeks
13.5 years
4 years and 3 months.
There are four people in our office who have worked for the company for between 25 and 30 years. One of which her dad as been working for the company for 52 years!
3 months and not for much longer........
27 years.
36 years this year.
[ One of which her dad as been working for the company for 52 years!]
That will be Drac then 🙂
That will be Drac then
😆
24 years and 1 month. Pretty much since school. I retire in the next 3-4 weeks.
I went from 5 weeks (hi donald!), to about 13 months, to 19 years (hi donald again) (before being redundant). Now self-employed but also 'with current employer' for 8 years..
Coming up for 8 years here and I was worried that made me very long in the tooth. Genuinely surprised how long some of you have done - I thought that was impossible in this day and age.
