How long will you tend to stay in your work right now????? c",)

I choose to be a college teacher. The job is very stable and honored here, but do not have too much income. I like doing research, so I can do what I like in the college. If it is possible, I prefer to stay here till retire. But if life is quite hard, I may leave it to get a job with higher salary to support my family.

it depends on the management. Some people I know can endure all the work as long as they feel that the management also thinks and took care of them as well. On my mother's former company, many people also left when the admin changed because it has a different approach of running things - making the company more profit-based than rather than people based. I imagine some of those are long timers and already given 10 - 20 years of their time and effort to the company. If i were you, I try to be open for the new management. New management doesn't always mean better or worse. But if you already have a a clear idea of how things will run, better consider your options.

I really do not know for how long I am going to stay in my currentt company. I have actually planned to transfer in my first company but i ended up staying there for about 6 years! :D haha i mean we really do not know and it would actually depend on many circumstances, that including your example that a company is bought by another company and so on. I guess this is really going to be a very difficult situation especially with all the changes that is going to happen to your company - new bosses, new policies, that will entail adjustments yet again, and of course people being moved around the company, if not asked to leave the company. I remember this has happened to someone I know and that she has actually just resigned because she could no longer cope and adjust to the new management's culture, and so on. For me, I am happy with my job, career, right now and I am hoping I would be staying here for a long time (preferably until I actually retire) I have been with 3 other companies before and I have never felt so secured, happy, and not overly stressed, i do not worry when i am hear whatever time i go home because i live 10 minutes away... and so on. I hope for the best with your current company right now and good luck!

I am planning to stay in my company and in my current department until retirement if there is no chance of leaving the country with my whole family. I love my work, not stressful, I'm learning a lot and my boss and teammates are all nice. As long as those aspects are existing then it is all good. But of course changes are permanent and if ever things get difficult or if they change my boss (current boss might get promoted or retire in the future) then things will be different.

i stay with my work for long time already but sometime i leave it there and go abroad for studying then i feel it is ok. but after graduation, i am thinking of looking for a new work with higher income. right now i think of money, how to earn more money for my living...

I don't work out side my home, the last job I had before, I got sick with cancer,I worked there 6 years, and I was really glad to go, I got tired of my old job, I was not doing my best work, my cancer is all gone now, Thank God.

Wow 17 years is indeed a long time! The longest I stayed in a company was 4 years and 10 months and it was in my previous job. I felt I needed a change, to be independent and the pressure was suffocating.

It is really sad to say goodbye to our office mates whom we had been for sometime. Well, 17 years is already a long time. Perhaps it would be good also to take time to relax and find other source of living. Personally,, my longest time in a certain company was 3 years. As of now I am nearly 3 years with my present job and hopefully I would be staying until I retire. But I am doing my best to find a good source of income so that I would not be working in an office anymore. I want to have my own business but I know it will require huge capitalization so I am staying with my present job until I could be able to raise enough fund or I would be successful online, whichever comes first. But in any way that my plan did not materialize, I still have my job which I am sure that I will be staying for long because of the privilege of security of tenure given to us being a government employee.
