Look a little closer and you see how long he's been with the telecom giant: 50 years and two months. Turner, who goes by Kip, has far outlasted most of us in how long he's stayed with the same company. Government figures from 2022 show that the median time US workers have been with their current employer is 4.1 years. And I think people may be afraid to do that — that they think you're unhappy. For example, he's traveled around the country to complete technical training, which has helped him keep pace with the technology.
