Re: Longest Job?
just under 7 years. I quit 3 times but they kept giving me pay rises... I had quit because i was bored.... but I was pretty damned good at what I was doing...
Ironically the same happened at my last job, I was there for 4 years.
It was one of those situations where I could do a job that most people would take 2 hours to do in about 2 minutes because I had done it so many times before, I knew all of the error codes, customers names, customers phone numbers, even the lines in the various programs off the top of my head...

Re: Longest Job?
ive been in a number of jobs, started in IT as a sysadmin in '99, then quit my job (nearly had a nervous breakdown due to my then girlfriend absolutely f*ing my head up). Got on my feet again, got into telecommunications and then network support, and now, 5 years later i've been in the same game a while. Left my last major job at two years simply as they had a shit policy from HQ in the US saying contractors would not be over 2 years, and they refused to make me permanent (bundles of extra $). I then moved here to my current job doing the same thing but as a perm employee, have been here about a year and a half now. Irony is the last place closed that office and data centre down and my current employer has a new lease on that building and we're moving to where i worked for my last place in about 2-3 months!

Re: Longest Job?
Longest job for me was my first one. Worked for John Valves where i did my apprenticeship as a Fitter and Turner, lasted there 9 years and 6 days. Left because i ended up a leading hand and got sick of the internal politics restricting me from doing my job.
Currently working as an electrical fitter for a switchboard manifacturing company. Got no f@$kin idea what i'm doing but i love it. Fitting and Turning is gone for ever. Only think i miss is being able to machine up bike parts ETC.
