it's their annual awards ceremony. if you work for the company for 40 years, they give you a gold Rolex.
40 years? I can't even imagine working at a job for a quarter of that time but if I did, I'm not sure a Rolex would cut it |

it's the digital age, where location doesn't matter as much and relocation isn't as necessary to explore options... tenure has definitely been droppin in correspondence with barriers to entry. specialization in an evolving fields is a primary contributor; figure out how to figure shit out, and you can surf this down economy wave... i mean shit, in the 'digital' space turnover is ridiculous -- hitting the 2 year mark is like the 20 year mark of the late 80s early 90s. crazy shit... if i was at a company for 40 years, it'd be because i was on the board for a company I started and had since handed off to my son or, more likely, his up-n-comer son thereafter lol

word though, a lot of the 'booming' companies out there today have not even been around for the 20-40 years we're alluding to -- let alone have employees there that long!

i also think it's one of those somewhat rare areas where people stay there for so long because they value what they do -- which is one of the best things a career can provide while i do consider myself blessed and fortunate for my position in a lot of ways --- with my particular worldview, making money to consult businesses on how to make money in a financial system built on glorified IOUs and in a commerce dependent on continual growth which is dependent on consumer confidence --- i close down my day thinking that at best I was effective at contributing to a system that is fucking the damn world and souls in it up lol. so hey, MAJOR PROPS for real brother. You're in a position to impact lives in a real way.

How about 40 years of steady employment, raises, promotions and increased vacation time? The Rolex is symbolic.
