Man and boy

This week a guy I’ve been working with retired from his job after 46 years continuous service.  In today's world of mobility, interim, project based, think-self world that’s an extraordinary achievement.  Last month was my '30th anniversary' of the day I first started working (as a trainee assistant buyer) and I felt a twinge of pride and nostalgia.  But I’ve had many jobs, with a fair few employers and as a consultant for over ten years I’ve done projects all over the world for stacks of different companies.  It takes some serious staying power to stick with one firm for 46 years.  Makes you think doesn’t it?
