Job security. I know the people I work with. I can do the job in my sleep so it’s low stress.

I don't think anyone has complete job security unless you own the place but I figure if we were cutting staff they wouldn't cut their most SR employees either. Or that hasn't been my experience in my career. I have no delusions that my job is completely safe either.

Name does not check out.

I was getting promoted every 12-24 months and got my pay raises that way. Never again, I am jumping ship for pay raises when appropriate but I am much more valuable now than I was in my 20's. I might settle down my last 10 years or so in the workforce finding a cushy position.

Promotions. Great managers. Been in one place for 13 years

I started part time in tech support call center in 2010. Engineering by 2014, senior engineering by 2018.

Honestly, bosses are huge.. My bosses have all been very supportive mentors that help me elevate myself to new positions.

The company has a litany of issues, as do all of them, but great managers keep good people. I probably would make more money job hopping buy I make a very comfortable living and have a very cushy job. Now that I have 2 you ng kids, the stability is more important to me.

Oh and now I get like 5 weeks of PTO so not really ever looking forward to giving that up

Work for several different companies 10 plus years.
First company sold off my division and I wasn’t offered a position.
Second company laid-off 2500 in 2008. Was last 50 laid off.
Now work for the State. Not worried about getting laid-off

Pretty simple for me. I love what I do and who I do it for. It’s a family owned business, I’m compensated competitively with what anyone else would pay me in the industry, the owners treat me like family, the company is financially strong and can withstand a down economy, etc. I’m very fortunate to have landed at where I work. I tell you what, we have over 100 employees and the average tenure has to be over 10 years. I think if you truly find something you love to do, are treated and compensated well, you truly will never work the rest of your life. For what it’s worth I’m in the hardwood lumber business. Naturally there are some crappy days here and there, but what causes those days typically is out of control of the company. Chit happens some days. Another observation I’ve made over many years is companies that have a revolving door are generally not a place you can count on to treat you right.

My husband has worked for the same company for 25 years. It’s the same employer he’s had since they hired him after he graduated from LSU. The benefits are great, and he has gotten steady promotions and pay raises. They’ve been an excellent employer, and there is no reason to leave.

I’m a teacher who has worked at two different schools. I left the public schools after 10 years, and I am currently on year 11 in a private school. When you like your work, there is no reason to move around. When either of us stop working at our current jobs, it’ll be because we are retiring.

I was about to respond until I saw who posted it.

I’ve been with my company for 25 years. Fortune 500 company with four different divisions. I started at a very entry level position when I was 24 with nothing more than a high school diploma.
Since then I have worked in 3 of our 4 divisions and held 7 different positions with the last 3 being management level positions and 2 prior to that were supervisor level. Company offers great work life balance schedule, very affordable healthcare, high match on 401k, profit sharing that increases percentage wise the longer you are there. I have 6 weeks vacation that no one complains when I take. I am the longest tenured partner at my location and one of the highest performing at my position in the entire company. I pretty much get left the frick alone because they know the Grey Bush delivers. I genuinely like the majority of my coworkers because of the culture we cultivate within our company. And this is a company that doesn’t give one frick about seniority. Everything is performance based. And when you perform it is genuinely appreciated and reciprocated.

Why would I go work somewhere else?
