I find that insulting.  I put in 26 years with AT&T.  When you work for 
a large company like that, it's like working for multiple companies.  I 
did C, perl, java, web development, sys admin...  Further, I started out 
driving a fork lift.  Got my degree on their nickel going part time 
while working full time.  Yeah, I know, that's the stupid way to do it. 
  Advanced from the fork truck driver to the 2nd highest technical 
position in the corporation.

Don't tell me I don't have ambition.

For those of us who have invested a lot of time in a company with the 
promise of a pension and such, you can't afford to just jump ship.  I'd 
been wanting to leave AT&T for a good 10 years, but it would have been 
quite foolish.  After 10 you're vested.  When I did, I retained my full 
pension, 401k, medical benefits, life insurance, along with a year 
severance.

Just because someone spends a lot of time with one company doesn't mean 
they don't have ambition.
