What's the longest and shortest you've worked a "real" job?

I've quit many very worthless jobs anywhere from mid first shift to a couple days. Sometimes you can see off the bat it's not worth it.

I worked in a warehouse for close to 3 years, but I'd consider this my first "real" job that pertains to my area of study. I've been here 6 months so far.

Longest was 21 years and the shortest 3 days.. The 3 day job I worked with the laziest Asian guy.. We had to unload a tractor trailer and he was no help.. The owner started yelling at me to hurry up.. I didn't show up the next day and they were calling and I was laughing..

Shortest, 4 years.

Longest, 7.25 years and counting

longest 10 yrs

shortest 5 months

Came here to post this exact scenario. Oh well.

Shortest - 10 months - this was a huge accounting firm - I think it's the biggest in the world now

Longest - 24 years and counting - this was for the worst boss I've ever had - myself

"Real" jobs?
Military - 8 years
Next Job - 6 years
Current job - 2.5 years

Longest is a decade (currently working for myself).

Shortest was 3 days. Coworkers from several other locations pressed me on my salary; I refused to tell them. They complained, believing I was making more than they did (I was, because I had a stronger position to negotiate compensation). Owner got mad and threatened to fire me for discussing salary. I quit instead; I ain't working for a clown like that.

The job I have had the longest (8 years) is the one I hate the most.

The job I had the shortest (3 months) was the one I liked the most.

I guess I'm doing it wrong.

Longest: 29 years and 1 day.
My new boss was a former peer/frenemy with which there was mutual disdain who wanted to ensure I did not hit 30 years.

Shortest: Two different one year stints after 29 year job. Got hired away for better opportunity twice. Been at latest job 5 yrs. Should be last rodeo.
