15 years zero hour contract. 😯
I got suck in ... the fool!
12 years, but 4 different roles - now part time to pursue own business interests with the security of a baseline salary 🙂
8 years here, still mostly enjoy it, just the stupid office politics bit that lets it down
About 18 months, i usually don't get past 3 or so years for some reason, but i want this one to be longer.
Just clicked over to 16 years,I employ 2 of my best mates so its not too bad as work goes,still worry about becoming institutionalised though.
10 months of my current job in LBS. Never stuck with anything else more than a few years hopefully this will be different.
23 years at the previous, 5 years for myself
18 years 10 months and 1 week.
13 years, but in the police where I change role every 2 years or so.
18 years for me. All of them shift work. Finding it harder and harder though. When on nights (10pm-6am or 6pm-6am) if I get 4-5 hrs sleep during the day I've done well 🙁
26 years. Don't think I'll ever change TBH; I would never find another job as good with as much freedom.
I started work on the 3rd September 1973 (42 years this September) and I've still got a few more years before I can retire. 🙁
23 years.
Blimey there are some long serving individuals in here. I can't imagine 10+ years at one place never mind 30+. That's commitment! Never managed more than 5 years before getting really bored, or the firm probably feeling glad I was going somewhere else 😉 Had three goes at my own company (or 2nd/3rd guy in), before deciding - like Stoner - the only viable approach was to just go freelance/mercenary and never hire anyone again.
9months in current, 8yrs in previous, about 4yrs too long.
6 months so far. Won't be around much longer than 2 years.
10 years in current role/employer on Feb 14th. Used to be a fantastic job, with brilliant work life balance when kids were young. Legislation changes and managerial ass covering have removed much of the job satisfaction, and now the kids are older the lack of prospects is suffocating.
At least I have a job to moan about!
13 years, stuck in a rut and not much chance of changing employer in current industry
Would need to start from scratch again if I moved industry.
😯
3.5 years. Most I have ever done is 4 years at one place. Can't really see myself getting passed 4.5 years (contract ends then) with current employer due to lack of job satisfaction and prospects.
5 years is the very longest I've stayed with one employer. Career progression would be impossible otherwise.
Just coming up to two years. Been a fab journey but the boss is a right cowbag and only pays me minimum wage!!
(okay, so it's my own company...)

7 years for me but as above
25 and a bit gone, 4 and a bit to go.... Can't wait to retire while still young enough (52) to enjoy it.
About ten years too long as its been downhill since then and with an extra eight years more than planned to do thanks to the govt 🙁
17.5 years here.
Now slightly stuck as I negotiated a package to move to the opposite end of the country and work from home 3 days a week, which has it's moments of pure brilliance, but also some truly tedious times. To get a job locally would involve pretty much starting from scratch along with a 30%-50% paycut, so I guess I'm staying where I am!
8 years this month just popped up on LinkedIn.
Although as a I'm consultant I've spent less than a month in the actual office in all that time.
15 years. I've moved office and project many times, and switched from aerospace to uav to shipbuilding and back
for my 10 year service award i picked from the catalogue a hoover! an alessi bottle opener and a vango bladder rucksack.
10 years
I could've murdered my boss on my 1st day and probably been out by now.
Feeling old having recently passed the 30 year mark.
Public/civil service so no gifts to mark any milestone as it's public money!
Two years, and love it.
But someone just emailed me another, even better and better paid, temporary job....
10 years earlier this week. Company has changed beyond belief though, from 4 people, £1m turnover when I joined to 32 people, £28m turnover now.
I'm "the new guy", I've only been here 14 years 😯
20 years. I've changed jobs three times so far (within a big multi-national). Made Director 5 yrs ago, which is nice but the feet are itching again. Time for a change.
Nearly 2 years, and getting itchy feet again.
My longest has been 3.5 years.
8 years, 2 months..
Still quite enjoy it, and not looking for anything else at the moment.
A mate of mine (who works in manufacturing) just had a guy retire on the 50th anniversary of him starting at the company as a 15-year old school leaver.
He worked in the same couple of buildings, on the same site his whole working life.
