And I hate this place. I've never before worked at a place where longevity with the company brings less job security and less respect, instead of the other way around.

Did you REALLY use "growth" and "BNY stock" in the same sentence? You certainly are clueless.

- I like fixing things and there were plenty of things to fix here.
- I liked my co-workers even though they were a little too much into the status quo.
- Despite all the roadblocks and bottlenecks, I was pretty productive.
- For the first 10 years, we had time to do things kinda right.
- I had pension contributions plus a 401(k) map.
- I worked from home whenever I wanted.
- We did amazing things moving from a classic asp application on bare metal to the latest .net core (still on VMs though) with webapi's.
I like it here, I like my job and my boss. I don't get all this.
Not to bring your attitude further, but I have to warn you that when you begin interviewing for your next job you’ll find that their recruiters will scratch their heads at your longevity with a company which offers low job security and even less respect.
While you’re presenting yourself they’ll be trying to assess why you haven’t been able to get out. Everybody knows the deal here, everybody.
The sad thing is that it would cost the company nothing to provide both.
Before you start yelling at me to leave, I'm doing my best to do so ASAP.
