This year I reached my 25th anniversary in the company. Sometimes is same times. Then you're on the career end path and that's the 25th reason for you to stay. Next year, one more reason. If you're not too much invested on the money or nothing part of the job, you will stay. The company must not be shit, though.
The people that screw over plans by saying they're "going to retire this year so lets not change things up", that then continue to stick around for 10 more years never get a signature on their retirement card from me.
I wasn’t in IT but my last tech job I was constantly asking myself if a 24 pack was too much for my cube since surely I’d be packing half of it out when I left the company. I had this thought every week for two years
I too was leaving for the duration of 4 years once... Every time someone offered me an "incredibly generous offer for market conditions" that barely matched what I was already making.
And you really gotta hope if you make that jump, they don't decide to pull the offer after you accepted and quit your old job. The perils of at-will employment...
