I am not commenting as a contractor, but as an employee. In today's
employment environment 5 - 10 years is a Very Long Time with one company. As
_Fast Company_ magazine repeats incessantly, "All work is project work." We
are all temporary employees, now.

P.S. I have been happily employed in the same place for 7 years, but the job
has changed constantly.
