Excluding part-time or temporary work, I've only worked at three organizations. Two of them were 10+ years runs, with the most recent run ending at 5 years.
In each case, I was fortunate enough to meet good people, and gain professional experience. I was also fortunate enough to leave on my own terms, and of my own choosing (although I probably stayed longer than I should have).
Unfortunately, leaving a job isn't usually done without issues. So often, long-term employees are let go with no warning, and given an unceremonious escort out the door, as if they were a criminal. Thanks for all those years of service!
In those involuntary work separations, plus many voluntary separations, it's also common for former colleagues to wrongly accuse the former employee of doing something inappropriate. It's a great way for intellectually dishonest, poor performers to try and cover for their own ineptitude.
For some former employers and employees, I guess breaking up is hard to do.
