Anyone with 20+ years at one agency? What do you think? Did the rest of us make a mistake?

Also, how and when you retire: you’re better off waiting til they have to fire you than quit, right?

Getting laid off is a good option as long as you know they agency has a severance policy. If you trust them, you might be able to negotiate your way out if you know they need to cut costs

I’ve seen people stay years. Including one who volunteered to be laid off. When that didn’t work, she stayed another 5 years until they finally laid her off

I stayed a loooong time at one place. I wish I had moved around more, to have more exposure to different ways of doing things, software, etc. Also I think working for multiple agencies gives you more credibility.

Better to move around a bit. Sometimes the only way to get promoted and get more money.
