Earlier this month I celebrated my 14.5 year anniversary (yes, I celebrate half anniversaries AND half birthdays...drives my kids crazy!). Many will look at this and say, "whoa, over 14 years with the same company...do people still do that?". I've started to ask myself the same question as I see numerous resumes with multiple jobs, linked-in posts encouraging people to job-hop to advance more quickly, and even some co-workers leave in less time than I have to "continue to stay green and growing". So what is the right answer? I guess it is to do what you enjoy and to continue doing that until it is no longer enjoyable. I started in my role in October of 2009 thinking this would be a temporary role (I'll just be here until something better comes along). I suppose I've kept true to that internal voice - it just so happens that I haven't found something better yet! Being able to help veterans everyday is a true joy (and with some a challange, a frustration, and others a huge burden to carry). As I continue to move toward 15+ years please let me know if I can help you along your journey and if your journey has a few pit stops that detour you from racking up longer years with one company know that if you are happy and if you enjoy what you're doing, don't worry about what others think.
