At the last tech place I worked, they celebrated the 25 year tenure of an employee who had essentially the same job for all 25 years -- he created accounts and passwords for users. It's a SF based tech-ish company, one y'all have heard of, and as I did my consulting gig there, floating through the wave of SMEs and ICs and Directors and VPs and the history of all those who had left or been fired, I thought about that guy and why he stayed where he stayed. He also had notable records and accomplishments in a not-lucrative sport, so I figured the stability and unbothered job position he had let him achieve notable things in the rest of his life. If he'd gotten a mortgage 25 years ago and lived within in his means, I bet his net worth exceeded many of the Directors and new VPs that churned through the place.
