You all have a ways to go: 82 Years on the Job


Idaho Candy Company's most famous employee is definitely Violet Brewer. Vi began work at Idaho Candy in 1913, when her mother took ill and Vi had to work to help support the family. Vi was only 13 years old at the time and her first job was stoking the furnace. Later on she became the premier hand chocolate dipper for the company. Vi dipped and rolled chocolates for 50 years and later went to the weighing department where she worked for another 30 years. Vi finally retired in 1995, 82 years after she started with the company. She passed away at the age of 101 after living a "sweet" life.

A mere 15 years for me, but I was inormed today that I am expected to go to Germany in the Fall to acquire some new product training (which has actually been quite a joke each time I have gone), and that would require the covid vax.

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.
31 and some change when i retired
In a couple of weeks I'll be self employed for 17 years.

37 years Federal Government, retiring at the end of the year.
Just fully retired, working more now than I have in a long time. 40 years DOD, 20 active Navy and 20 GS as an engineer for AFN (AFRTS) for those whom know what that is.
A Farts! I was an asst. DJ on Friday nights at the station in Tehran, Iran when I was in high school. The only rock and roll in Persia/

24 years for one crew, histerically speaking we were the lowest paid in the US at that type of job. Yes you read that right. Sarcasm at it's height, or lowest if you wish. I don't care what you call it or me as long as you call me for dinner. I don't miss a meal. Be well, RZ.
33 where Iā€™m at now, 50 years at the plumbing-pipe fitters trade
26 here, 15 before in TX.
40yrs
My Grandfather, who recently passed away, got a job at 16 at the RC Musson Rubber Co. in Akron OH at 16 years old working the loading docks. In 1942, he took a leave of absence to join the USMC. He fought in the Pacific Theater, later returning in 1946 to the loading dock at RC Musson Rubber Co. 43 years later, he retired as the General Manager of the company. He earned enough stake in the company to have a 49% ownership. I remember him saying, that in the mid 50's, he was given 5 days of paid vacation each year, which was (in his opinion) unheard of, and a great benefit.

A different generation for sure.

Me personally, 14 years in the military (Army, then Air Force), was the longest. Since then, 8 years at one civilian company followed by 1 year and counting...
38 years

Im in my 21st year working with the same group. We have been three different companies due to mergers. No changes in the last 12 years. 8 years since anyone left or anyone new hired. All friends on a personal level and we do our own thing. Help each other when needed and stay out of each others faces when not. Really good situation.

34 years and counting at the current schidtshow.
I was self employed for 15 years. The longest I ever made it working for anyone was 3 years
I donā€™t understand the question.
25 years for me. My father went 47 at the same company - he was the first one they hired when they opened. I had one person who'd been at my employer for 57 years - too bad he didn't retire after 30.
22 years at my current job. Got another 7 to go and then think about retirement.

37 years at the same refinery with about 4 name changes in there. Retired 5 years ago and don't miss it one damn bit!
17 years with a Fortune 500 company. Good training and I enjoy the pension now, but the way to pump up your salary isn't staying with one company forever. Let them train you, learn everything you can about that field, then apply it somewhere else where they will appreciate you. I walked away from 5 weeks of vacation, but 2-3x the money by doing that.
29 years and a bit with the same employee owned company. I'd planned on leaving at fifty, but our stock options keep doing well. Most likely I'll hang around until 53 (~1 1/2 years) and check out with three or so, including personal investments.
29 1/2 years in a refinery for me.Got a friend who gave the same place 50 yrs and retired at 80 !
about 6 years, and that was working for myself. I get bored, and leave to find something else. Usually not in the same field. I think it was 13 different jobs in 40 years of working
29 years, retired in 2013 at 62. Been retired for a little over 8 years. Should have quit earlier.
