How many different people have you worked for through your life? There is a man that can say that answer is one. What’s more amazing is how long that has been!
A Brazilian man named Walter Orthmann just celebrated his 100th birthday this month. He also set the Guinness World Record for longest career at the same company.
Walter has worked at the same textile business since he was 15 years old! That’s 84 years at the same company!! Since he started in the mail room in 1938 he has been promoted to sales and is now sales manager.
He still drives himself to work. Walter says he has no plans to retire. Technically that means each day he goes to work he extends his own world record.
