It came and went without me even realizing it but August 28th was my 7 year anniversary at my current job. I work as a 2nd shift policy processor/data entry person for a major insurance company. 

I was just curious with how crazy the economy has been recently how long people have been at their respective jobs.

Over 10 but I own my own business, kinda hard to get fired, but I have needed to be a few times. :lookingup:

Right about 5 years at my current job.  I do technical support/network administration for an ISP:  www.clis.com (http://www.clis.com).  It's not a great job but it's money.  I'm currently trying to get an associates degree and all of my certifications so I can get a better paying job.

Over ten years learning the skills to get a job in real life :bouncegiggle:

5.

which i recommend if your company has a pension plan and if it's also the time you need to be fully vested in the 401k. Given i work at a very large company there's lots of room to grow and move around, however right now i'm the person they can't seem to live without. i told them not to call me on vacation because i'm not going to pick up the phone..lol

still waiting to hit the big lotto tho...

21 years of boring,monotonous bullsh1t in a canning factory.

Last month marked 2 years at my job. The longest I was at any job was 3.5 years. This place is nice, though. I don't plan on leaving.

Going on 14 years at a medium-sized nonprofit agency.

I took the job when I first moved to Tennessee from the Keys as a temporary 4 month position while I interviewed for teaching jobs (I had taught music for about 7 years at the time) and never looked back! There are great benefits, very flexible scheduling, and the pay is comparable to teaching.

Almost coming up to my 2 year mark.  Landed this job almost straight out of University, which was lucky.   Lucky especially since I did an arts degree, so unless I wanted to teach I wouldn't have a practical use for it.  I enjoy my work, and because I work in high-end audio systems, it keeps me interested and we get to see some pretty cool houses.  It's bad though because it makes me think I can afford expensive things when I clearly cannot...  We'll see how it pans out; I'm young, so am just happy to be earning the moolah for now...

It'll be over four this November, but I'll be damned if I spend five at Wal-Mart.  I should be getting my masters before too long...

I just passed the 3 year mark for my job on August 23rd.

It's the longest I've ever held a job.
Most jobs I've worked in the past, within the first month I'm ready to quit.
Luckily, my job pays pretty well and it's easy so I've stuck with it.

Twenty-six years
Eight months
Twelve days

8 years this coming April.  My employer is in San Francisco and I work out of my home in New Jersey.  Working from home has its advantages (particularly in the Northeast) and its disadvantages...

12 Years in the classroom, teaching history . . . and still loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!! :teddyr:

The longest I've worked is my current job of 6 years this September.  6 years of telling customers "get the fnck on/off my train (I don't really say that.Except in my head.).  6 years of cursing out customers asking me what train is this when the letter or number is in front their face.  And 6 years of closing the doors on these idiots who're running and tumbling down the stairs when another one is coming in 5-8 minutes.

I've been in my current job for 11 years and am finally making more money than I made at my previous jobs. I work for an educational institution and get lots of time off and have a great boss. I've had three different jobs since coming here.  At first I did all the computer repairs for about 7 years, then I did a 3 year project getting affordable broadband into our 80 or so county offices.

Now I'm the tech support manager and run a small call center (3 full timers and 1 to 3 interns).  I still do WAN support and I'm the resident hardware expert.

I worked tech support at a large computer company in Houston for 1.5 years before deciding to move back to Arkansas. I hated work and hated Texas (the second time I've lived there).  Before that I worked as a field engineer for 15 years at another computer company that went bankrupt.

I've been fixing computers since before PC's and I'm bored stiff most days, but it's a good paycheck and I get a lot of freedom. 

14 years with current job. : I have many reasons for staying, but none of them make any sense.  :bouncegiggle:

I think that's the case for most people, including myself.   :teddyr:

I've been working for the evil theater chain National Amusements for around 7 1/2 years.  I guess it's sucked my ambition or I'm just lazy 'cause I only applied for management a few months ago and I've been a manager since then (official job title is "Treasurer" for no good reason).  It's often a fun job, but I can't imagine staying there for many more years.

3 and a half years with HM Coastguard. I joined when I was 19, and haven't looked back since. I'm getting a little frustrated though, as it's getting somewhat difficult to swallow that I work for an emergency service, and make life and death decisions on a daily basis, yet I earn pretty much the minimum wage, because government pay is atrocious.

Twenty-four years. I was told this week I have outlasted ninety-two percent of those who were hired when I was.

Eighteen and a half. I have formally tried to leave twice (one by leaving at the end of my contract, but they promoted me and offered me my dream job to get me to stay, then moved me into a job I didn't want on the first day, and then I once formally submitted paperwork to quit and they moved me out of the job I didn't want to persuade me to stay).

I worked at Honee Bear Canning for a total of 31 years before I retired for health reasons 4 years ago.

Twelve.  Started at the Veterans Hospital in 2008 and haven't looked back.  There have been some definite struggles but you have to know how to handle drama and difficult people.  Never hurts to be friends with some of the higher-ups because you will eventually know some that will have your back.  Overall the job is gravy even with the pandemic going on.  Don't be a d*ck to people, and do your job plus whatever else you have time for.  I am happy to have a supervisory regime that lets you do your thing when you're an employee of long standing.  Keep it simple and don't whine about stupid s**t.

less then 1 -- I saw mere months into my sub gig when everything got shut down

well, my current job is housewife, so..uumm...a year and 3 months.

It'll be a year in July.  I had been at my previous company almost 13 years but decided it was time for a change and took a job at a major technology company.  I took a bit of a pay hit but it was for the absolute best and I am so glad I made the change.  I was spinning my wheels at my old job and not going anywhere so it was so good to move.  I don't know if I'll be here for 13 years but I hope so. 

have been doing Uber for 2 almost 2 years. I like it better than delivering Amazon which I did before
