Man, 14 years is a hell of a long time in one place.

Been at my place for 5 and even that feels like a long time in this industry.

Too scared to move in this climate, though.

I’m having my 15 years jubilee at work this year.

Some colleagues are at 40 before retiring.

Your employer is having a party in celebration of your time with them? Am I reading that correctly?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mmh no, they give 0,5 month of salary or 11 days off for 15 years, 1 month or 22 days off for 20 years (repeatable every 5 years).

But no party or stuff like that. Jubilee is just the strict traduction of "Jubilé" in French, it’s not a celebration with Gary Barlow composing music from the commonwealth (source: Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II)

Right on! Thank you for the clarification! That sounds much better than a work party, in my opinion. In the US, the term is often meant as a "fancy" way to say party, usually over several days.

It used to be the norm that people would work their whole career in the same place... Hell, if I had started where I'm working now back in my 20s I would probably have worked for the same employer until I retire...

most I ever had was ten but that was at a public institution. My average is five or six.
