Turner recalls once being on a big project to help protect several telephone facilities against a projected earthquake in the 1990s, which would impact their service area in Northeast Arkansas. "We were predicting disaster," he says. Read more: 68-year-old has spent 50 years at the same company as an engineer, even without a college degree—this is his one regret

Turner ended up getting his budget, and the team was able to provide different ways of communication in case services throughout Arkansas were cut off. He and that senior leader even became friends down the line. Being on the younger side, and the flexibility that comes with being early in your career, has its advantages. Turner recalls making his first internal move when he was 20 years old and applied to become a toll technician simply because "nobody else knew about it, and nobody else really wanted to go to this particular little town in Central Arkansas." Although there may be red flags around longevity, there are also nuances buried within the number of years on a CV. Media made the decision to immediately pull the campaign from the platform,” Bruce Gersh, 11:11 Media’s president and chief operating officer, told CNN on Tuesday. Beyond the opinions of hiring managers, staying put too long can also have adverse effects on workers, particularly regarding salary.If you found somewhere you love,” says McLaughlin, “and you're comfortable there, you feel you're looked after there, and you're paid well and respected, you don't need to move just for the sake of it.” Someone's been somewhere 15, 20 years, and you have to wonder, are they institutionalised?” says McLaughlin. “Are they just part of the furniture? How adaptable can they really be?” These questions, combined with existing biases about the inadaptability of older workers, has the potential to be damaging. launching a call for evidence for DC schemes on a lifetime provider model to simplify the pensions market by allowing individuals to move towards having one pension pot for life, and on a potential expanded role for Collective DC ( CDC) schemes in future If you’ve only been in one industry, in one business, it can make you a little bit one-dimensional,” says McLaughlin. “From a hiring manager's perspective, I’d question how diverse is their learning and development style? Are they willing to take risks or are they risk averse? Are they dynamic enough? You might look at that and go, how motivated is this person? Why haven’t they wanted to move?” Yet the whole purpose of OpenAI’s weird governance setup was to ensure safe development of the technology. For all its faults, the structure was intended to put the board of the controlling not-for-profit entity in change. Safety came first; the interests of the profit-seeking subsidiary were secondary. Here’s Altman’s own description, from February this year: “We have a nonprofit that governs us and lets us operate for the good of humanity (and can override any for-profit interests), including letting us do things like cancel our equity obligations to shareholders if needed for safety.”

The decision by Hilton’s company to pull its advertising is a blow to X and the platform’s chief executive, Linda Yaccarino, who announced a major promotional partnership with Hilton just last month. The deal, which was touted by Yaccarino as a long-term, “official partnership” between Hilton, 11:11 Media, and X, aimed to create “a launchpad for new initiatives in video and live video, live commerce, Spaces, and so much more.” The deal also established a revenue-sharing agreement between the parties. But, it can be a challenge to manage up to senior leaders on a team when you have the least amount of experience. developing a fellowship course targeting mid-career science and technology Venture Capital ( VC) investors, similar to the Kauffman Fellowship in the US, to be operational in 2024 A spokesperson for Hilton declined to comment on whether the suspension of 11:11’s ad campaign also meant the end of Hilton’s partnership with X. A spokesperson for X also did not immediately respond. But some experts say there actually can be such a thing as too much staying power. “There are a lot of positive connotations about longevity in a role, but there is a fair degree of negativity as well,” says Jamie McLaughlin, CEO of New York-based recruiting company Monday Talent.His secret? "Learn your job well," he says. "Be very confident when you challenge somebody, especially somebody that's 20 to 30 years older than you that's been doing the job for so long. [Don't] be arrogant about it, but be confident in your knowledge." Although there’s plenty to be said for having extended experience – and lots of benefits that can come from digging in your heels with one employer – spending too long in one role may work against people in some cases. Some recruiters feel there’s a ‘tipping point’ at which loyalty can potentially signal complacency. And even for those not applying for jobs, there may be other reasons to start looking around after a while. Plus, says Kropf, the world is constantly changing – and employees must keep up with new technology to stay competitive. Workers whose jobs evolve and offer them new skills don’t can get left behind. Turner remembers his comment undercutting his solution and being followed by a "contentious meeting." Tensions ran high, making a stressful situation worse.

consulting this winter on how the Pension Protection Fund can act as a consolidator for defined benefit ( DB) schemes unattractive to commercial providersI was working around a lot of older assertive men, and I'm not a very big guy, so I never wanted confrontation," Turner says.

welcoming the Financial Conduct Authority ( FCA) and the Pensions Regulator ( TPR) announcements on next steps towards implementing the Value for Money framework in the DC workplace pensions market The original non-explanation from OpenAI was that Altman had to go because he had not been “consistently candid” with other directors. Not fully candid about what? A benign (sort of) interpretation is that the row was about the amount of time Altman was devoting to other business interests, including a reported computer chip venture. If that is correct, outsiders might indeed be relaxed: it is normal for other board members to worry about whether the boss is sufficiently focused on the day job. publishing an update that proposes placing duties on DC occupational pensions trustees to offer decumulation services and products at an appropriate quality and price when savers access their pension assets, either themselves or through a partnership arrangement This is especially the case amid the current tight labour market, as employers are offer big incentives to bring talent into their organisations. A 2022 survey of more than 2,600 workers in the US by research organisation The Conference Board showed 20% of people who changed jobs during the pandemic saw a 10% to 20% pay increase, and nearly a third of those surveyed got an even bigger bump – over 30% more than they previously made. The pattern is similar in the UK, where job switchers also reaped wage benefits. But keeping eyes forward at the same time can be a good idea. McLaughlin says if you’re nearing the five-year mark, it’s worth it to assess where you are, and look at what else may be out there.Of course, notes Kropf, these judgements are entirely subjective – there’s no universal answer to how all hiring managers will judge long-tenured employees. “One person may see loyalty in 15-plus years of service,” she says, “whereas another may see apathy.” It may be up to the applicant, then, to paint that long tenure as a strength, rather than a weakness. A senior leader asked the team about their ideas for how to handle the project, "and I said, 'Well, I have a plan if you have any money,'" insinuating the project leader wasn't prepared with a budget, "and it kind of embarrassed him," Turner says.

For some employers, however, there is a point at which staying in one place can start to reflect poorly on a worker. “Eight, nine, 10 years, that's fantastic,” he says. “But 15, 17, 19 years... there's a big difference there. I think there is a window where the balance kind of tips a little bit.” For instance, being in one position for that long can signal that professional development has stalled, or that workers have a smaller network.
