It used to be the norm in many places, especially when benefits were better. Hard to justify leaving when seniority/tenure offered you things like 2 months of vacation a year and a pension you could collect at 55 or 60, but with a minimum of 10-20 years with the company to qualify. Hard to find that outside the government (in the US) these days, but then the pay is mediocre (at best) for software jobs in the government too.
