Not keen on doing so as I'm not keen on trying something new only 15 years away from 65 but things happen. The good news is there are a lot of places in the U.S. where you can teach EFL. And Biden is expanding your market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bert 1,115 Posted May 26, 2022 16 years. Wiffle and Iam90's are correct about loyalty but with a pension and equity continuing to vest there are very good reasons to stay. Also, I am only 2.5 years away (god willing) from being out of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 4,191 Posted May 26, 2022 Yes, , I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But then I started washing lettuce. Soon after I was on fries; then the grill. In a year or two, I made assistant manager, and that’s when the big bucks started rolling in.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,087 Posted May 27, 2022 Right out of College I worked for the same company for almost exactly 20 years. Big Pharma, global company. 90% of Geeks have either taken a vaccine, prescribed a drug, bought something over the counter or brushed their teeth from this company. It was a good run, learned a lot, traveled to several continents. And looking back, it was all bullshit. I'm now at a smaller, middle sized company in a completely different industry. I'm no longer a badge number but a person...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TommyGavin 790 Posted May 27, 2022 Just had this conversation with a fellow commuter 10 minutes ago and I didn’t pay it any mind until he asked how long have I been working in the city and I realized May 1st was 20 years. My younger son just turned 20 and that’s how I remember it. He was 2 months old when I started here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
