Longest time been in a Job

Since we had a thread of shortest time in a job what about the longest of course no job is for life or job into retirement but how long have you been in your job

My brother has worked at the same place since he was 19, so far just shy of 30 years. Unless he is made redundant he will stay there until he retires.

I think he is a rare case these days especially for someone who works in central London.

I'm a postie and have done the job for 36 years. When I first started we were out delivering for 7.00 and done for 10.00 - now we can still be in the office at 10.00, and some days don't finish till 3.00

Three years plus three months.

24.5 years until I had to medically retire.

I don't think Mr Higgy has a job

EStaffs90 · 21/09/14 - 14:49

4 years 7 months (September 2008 - April 2013).

kitty86 · 21/09/14 - 14:51

My current one. It was 6 years beginning of this month.

venusinflares · 21/09/14 - 15:01

Six years and nine months with the same employer. I started with them age 16 and was 23 when I left. It took me that long to realise my face didn't fit and I was doomed to be on the bottom rung forever.

My current job. I have been here 9.5yrs. But I am now looking to move on. Had a job interview last Tuesday and I'm waiting to hear if I've been successful.

Miss C. DeVille · 21/09/14 - 15:07

Just over 20 years. Would have still been there if the place hadn't closed and was made redundant.

welwynrose · 21/09/14 - 15:14

My current job been there 16.5 years so far and would like to get a little bit closer to retirement before I leave

Joystick · 21/09/14 - 16:04

Just over 8 years. Been thinking of finding a new job as I want to try something new and different but I've kinda got too comfortable in my routine, having a stable income is also another thing.

swingaleg · 21/09/14 - 16:32

About 19 years.......

I'll shortly overtake that though as I've now been self employed for 18 years and 4 months

just typing that I can hardly believe it.........time is flying by......:o

annette kurten · 21/09/14 - 16:35

[Deleted User] · 21/09/14 - 17:11

marfjam · 21/09/14 - 17:20
