Six years (three roles there though). I usually do two and bounce, though I've done 3.5 at the current place.
Hoping the next one might last a bit longer, but I have a low boredom threshold 🤣

Re milestone awards.

I just remembered i got £450 (weirdly non round right?) for 5 years at my old place. I was actually on my notice period at the time, having resigned a month prior. Maybe they docked me 10%.

I'll get 3 more days annual leave if I hit 5 years at my current place, which'll be next year. I'd much rather have that!

Mrs. D used to earn a day extra annual leave for every year over 5 years. They had to cap that when people were getting into the 40s of days :lol:

My parents house has got quite a few classically 80s/90s long service awards which my Mum and Dad earned at IBM. Carriage clock, barometer, framed mirror....IBM switched to a "points for the catalogue" system at one point, so IIRC my Mum got a Microwave for 25 years :D
