Got a note today identifying that my (adjusted) service time at my company has been 23 years. Cool.<\/p>\n
Part of that is laziness (or, perhaps, a conservative desire to not change things that don’t need to be changed). Part of that is that I have a pretty good and fulfilling employer (and position), despite period kvetching. There have been times when I’ve done some looking elsewhere, but never found an opportunity I liked better (and usually the conditions that were driving it were reconciled fairly quickly).<\/p>\n
I’m not sure where my career is going, long-term. I’m aware that in some areas longevity at a company is seen as a dis<\/em>advantage, and certainly there are always concerns about lost opportunities for growth that new opportunities would have. But there are also some values I see to it, the institutional knowledge and web of relationships and the sense of being a part of a culture that has evolved over two and a half decades.<\/p>\n Anyway, 23 years. Go, me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
