Congrats. Seems to be a rare thing these days. And mia was only in elementary school when you started (and I was only about to enter high school).

Congrats! That does not happen too often anymore. Is it an electric utility?

Two more months would've made 18 contiguous years at my current employer
had I not been laid off for 7.5 months in 2014. Still burns me because
at the time they told me the work I was doing would no longer exist. It
never did go away and I'm still doing that same work now.

I've been retired 30 years+.

That's a good thing.

But I worked at a company where my 35 years was junior to a lot of
people. If I had worked 6 more years (until I was 65) several were
there longer than 41.

I was in the Naval Reserve for 33 years - 10 on non-pay because I was
too senior for a pay billet. But I wanted to be at the training center
longer than anyone else (I was by about 2 months).

I admire 30 years of loyalty but I am not impressed.

Congrats, and lots of companies wish they could find such devoted employees.

I'm at 21 years of self-employment. I'm pretty sure I could go back if I had to, but would more likely find another self employment opportunity first.
