How many years have you been at your place of work? Apart from the wage, what keeps you there?

Today starts my fourth week.
I’m still the newbie but know this is where I belong.

I've been in my current position for about 7.5 years, but I've been with the organization for 28.5 years.

My salary isn't the greatest, but it's OK enough. The benefits are really, really good. I love the atmosphere — I came here to attend the university and just never left. Unlike a job out in the commercial world, we aren't faced with a constant pressure to make a profit or anything like that. The specific organization I work for, for example, has a large endowment that covers most of our expenses. Our just is to carry out our mission and not worry about things like that. The bosses are pretty cool, which is nice.

More importantly is that I'm at an age now where finding a new job would be problematic. Most places don't want to hire someone my age, and I'll admit that my skill set hasn't kept up with changes in technology as much as I'd like. So, for the moment at least, I'm secure here, and I hope that that continues until I'm ready to retire.

I’ve doing the same kind of work since I was 14 but at many different locations throughout Europe and the Far East 🙂

over 20 years.... and mostly the people on the workfloor... definitely not management or the pay....

Since September and she just offered me a mahooosive responsibility and training for September

6.5 years, and no it's not the wage that keeps me here it is the job that i do to help people

20 years. It has always allowed me a good work/life balance, it plays to strengths, the people are nice, the place has a history I enjoy, the benefits are good, there’s been a raise every year, and I basically enjoy the subject matter I’m immersed in all day.

20+

I own it...

I just started 6 months ago. I like it because the department I am in is small, and I really like my coworkers. Most of all I really enjoy teaching.

17 years until the place closed down last month. <sigh>

1.5 years, part time minimum wage

I am going on year 36 (started there in 1984). Apart from the wages, I enjoy what I do.

Since late summer of 2014. It's a healthcare clinic, and I've liked it much better than the hospital where I was for 4 years before. It's smaller and definitely not as crazy.

7 years

I'm currently looking for something else while I'm still employed

22 years. It's a perfect fit for me, and I'm the boss so I can't quit!

I haven't worked in 7 years I gave that up

5 years. It's become like an addiction

19 years. I like what I do.

21

I do not want to start over someplace new. I am considered an expert where I am now. That's a laugh. I am only an expert because others don't know shit.
