Twenty years here. I've gotten married, bought my first place, had a child. The manager who hired me is still here, along with many others.

We've lost some coworkers, always seemingly too soon. I've been to a couple of wakes, one for a coworker's wife.

I don't want to say we're like family, but we look out for each other. The year before the company rolled out 2.5x salary life insurance, someone started a crowdfunding campaign after a coworker's sudden death that raised over $50K in one day.

I know I've been here too long, but I'll miss it. I grew up here.
