Kinda strange for me in that every employer in my lifetime has been dissolved. From the steak restaurant I worked for 3 weeks when I turned 16, then the burger joint, to the ladies clothing store, then after college the 2 finance companies, the auto dealer, the collection agency, the bank I worked for merged and no longer runs their charter even though it was the oldest in OK, then the 2 hospitals I worked for (1 was 101 years old when it went bankrupt, the other was small surgery center chain).
Dude. You are bad luck.

Two years. Graduated from LSU 3 years ago and took my first job offer at a small environmental lab in Port Allen. Stayed there for 2 years and left for a state job. Will probably bounce around my current department task-wise and go the consultant route in about 10+ or so years.

104 posts on TD in 10 years. That is how you keep a job for 39 years.

Started where I am now in June of ‘88.
I’ve been the boss for a while now.
Not a bad gig if you can handle it.

The food places are just kinda the nature of those, small businesses that fold when the owner retires/dies.
The ladies clothing went under due to the nature of fashion and style and what's trendy, and it was a Mall based overall marketing strategy. Malls died, styles changed, what's Hot and Not changed, poof! They're gone. (The Limited is who it was)
The collection agency was due to illegal big time finance spearheaded by a former FDIC bank examiner playing fast and loose with a new type of packaging of finance that resulted in a larger bankruptcy than Enron money wise.
The old hospital was timing. 1st time ever in debt to revamp and go state-of-the-art surgery was immediately prior to the economic collapse which also altered the clientele base as insurance industry changed at about the same time further altering the financial situation. Without the housing crash ripples it would still be in business.
The small surgery center chain was a prime example of letting personal politics get in the way of business. Top management swore that Obamacare would never go into effect. Once it did they were doomed due to setting up their finances and operations based on the presumption about Obamacare.

16 years, and I was at an advertising agency. Staying at an agency for 1 year is like 3 years for any other job.
