With the current economic climate they say there is no such thing anymore as a 'job for life'. Redundancys left right and centre plus people seem more willing to chop and change jobs in order to get more money or just be happier.
Except me
Last month signified 19 years service for the blue oval which is more than half my life Joined at 18 after a year at college, 4 year apprenticeship being a mech/elec, 1 year at Aveley Pilot plant (thats pilot as in prototype, not flying ) doing prototype bodys (worked on the Puma, Cougar and Courier projects) then to Dunton, firstly spending 5 years build prototype engines (Transit and Mondeo TDCi engines, TDV6 and V8 used in JLR and PSA plus other stuff like a few Jag SC V8s) and then onto my current job which i have been doing for 9 years now.
And to be honest although i do fancy a change job wise i cant ever see myself working for anyone else mainly because there is no way i could find a job that pays so well (well unless i became a tube driver )
So am I an endangered species how many other people have done more than 10 years service with one company?
