What is the longest time you have worked for a company? Are most of your jobs long term, or do you tend to move around more then staying put?

5 years is the longest, but only because I chose to move on. I could have stayed.

Depends on how you measure it.
I've been with the overall organization for 11 years, but it was 5 years in one division, 5 in another, and I was just moved back to the first division (as a way of saving my job when my department was dissolved.)
Prior to that I was 5 years at a small business and 2 years teaching.
I like stability!

I think 4-5 years for me, and like gee, usually I leave because I move on (although they did shut down my division one time). I tend to need new challenges.

8 years - but not in the same job (in fact I held 5 posts over that period) ... I could have stayed and developed into post 6 BUT an episode of bullying poisoned the company for me and I needed out ... so relocated to Scotland  Cathy |

What is the longest time you have worked for a company? Are most of your jobs long term, or do you tend to move around more then staying put? Susan, have you edited this since you first posted? Update to my initial reply.... The answer to the second part of your question is no, I don't tend to move around unless I have to eg. when faced with redundancy. Of course it's best to find temporary work in between permanent jobs but that doesn't always happen immediately. I would have preferred not to have ever faced redundancy but didn't have a choice. Although my current post is permanent, I cannot say it's forever, as no job is permanent these days. |

 When I was paid off on being made redundant, they had to pay be 9 years worth! however that did include 4 different jobs even though my job title stayed the same and the work didn't vary that much (except for QS stuff to legal QS stuff!)

28 years 5 mos and counting. It is not all in the same role though. Not all Admin Asst roles. I have had the opportunity to work in various roles that have helped me build my skillset for the role I have now, EA. By the way, the company names have changed throughout the years due to mergers and acquisitions, but my service years count.

I worked 11 years at my first real job, with various transfers and promotions. I am in my 10th year with my current employer. I am loyal to my company when treated well.
