When I worked in local government IT, there were younger people who
started working there looking for job security. They were still
there, 30 years later.
We half-joked that some of the people working there started working
before their manager was born. Half-joking, because it was true.
It takes a certain mentality to work in a job like that for so long,
keep your head down, do everything you can do not stand out, do the
same thing day after day, take a union-mandated raise every once in a
while, and retire with a pension.
That ain't me.
... Is there something missing?
