It has always been a great manager, followed by great team, then just commute time.
I've been at the same place for about five years, and the team I work with is the main reason I've wanted to stick around. The thing is, the team keeps changing bit by bit. And I realize feeling loyalty to a team can be a problem as it's not a steady roster. I'm thinking if the job market starts to rebound I may get serious about moving on.
I think I just got comfortable. With my team, with the routine, with knowing the job. I'm afraid that if I go somewhere else, I will feel stupid and my impostor syndrome will set in. I've thought about leaving a few times in the last 12 years, but never enough to actually go. I figure it's a blessing not to hate my job.
The flexibility, the trust, the respect of the team. We had fun working together.

I stayed because flexibility showed up when life got hard, not just when performance was high. Trust built over time mattered more than perks.

The people I worked with made the job…… they were amazing. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have stayed no where near as long as I did.

For me, it would be trust and flexibility during hard life moments. Titles and perks never kept me. Feeling human at work did.
Assisting a great Manager and the culture are most important in my opinion. When you see the company investing in their employees, is the best!
