Is it dozy, who is about to jump ship again, or is it the beaver, who, having taken an early lead, now seems to have settled for the long haul?

About nine or ten. Strangely enough, in about nine or ten different fields! From engineering to teaching via catering, with a little sales and driving thrown in for good measure.

Did apx 15 yrs at aveling barford , 15 yrs apx at Corby chilled / innovate / stobart / ws , so not sure why you’d think I’ve had the most jobs , but I’ve had 5 this year and my notice goes in tomorrow so I’ve had a few this year , if Corby chilled was still running I’d still be there now ( great people ) , but the search continues , don’t think there’s any stigma attached to moving jobs on a regular basis , says more about who you work for than yourself , some truly ■■■■■■■ idiots running a lot of firms :unamused:

I stopped counting at 40 but had 5 in one year. Most employers push you that little bit too far and end up with the finger.
