Yep, leading a good team in sysadmin/security space for a large corporation and love every minute of it, also working from home is a great benefit, maybe too great...

I have a small company and have found that in general 5 years is the shortest stints for our technical employees. Our dept managers have been with us for over 15 years. Our college interns also report hands down that their internships were the best of their peers.

I’ve taken this as a compliment to the environment and culture I’ve fostered. My “secret”: treat everyone the way I’d like to be treated and work the way I’d like others to work.

I’m always surprised when others are surprised at our retention. To me this seems like an easy accomplishment. Maybe this is only possible at a smaller company who’s doing interesting work?
