Had an uncle who retired quite a few years ago at 65. He had started at the same company at age 15. 50 years with the same company!!! Won’t see that again!,

Continous makes it difficult. Got hired at my current job 7/12/99. Except I have been laid off for 3 years total over 4 or 5 layoffs. Last was 2009.
But there have been furloughs of days or a week since.
22 years without quitting or being fired!

I think it was just under 5 years (continuous - I ended up 8 total years at that company)
I get bored - learn quickly so once I'm not learning, I end up jumpy and looking to make a leap. But also - I lets me increase my earnings. Over the last 6 years, I've increased my W2 450%. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending how you look at it) jumping is the best way to get paid anymore. Gone are the days of 30 years of service. More like 4 years, wage stagnation, jump, repeat.

In a couple of weeks I'll be self employed for 17 years.
I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

34+ years. Retired on 11/01/19. It was sad to see what that once proud company had become but I couldn't be happier now.

Have made my living working for myself for 38 years. Decided to semi-retire a couple years ago--and while I'm working less, the jerk I work for somehow doesn't quite understand.....
