      It's evident that he loves his job, most of us would be depressed after working for the same company over 2 years. Then again, it's not uncommon for people to be working for the same company for decades in the olden days, my dad worked in a company for 3 decades and he has never thought about leaving. Times have changed, nowadays it's considered normal to switch jobs every 2 years as job security has eroded.
