30 Years at Microsoft
18 December 2025 • by Bob • Microsoft
Ok, sure - I freely admit this post is 100% self-aggrandizing, but today is my official 30-year anniversary with the company. It seems like only yesterday when I was hired as a tech support engineer for Microsoft Access 95.
These past 30 years have been a great ride, and I hope I have more years to come.
(There was a time when employees who were celebrating their 10, 20, and 30-year anniversaries could look forward to a celebratory dinner hosted by the company in Redmond, but those days have long-since passed. C'est la vie.)
POSTSCRIPT:
I will admit that this post, much like my 25 Years at Microsoft post, is somewhat brief. But if you're curious, I wrote a detailed summary of my earlier history with the company in my Some Thoughts About My 20th Anniversary At Microsoft post. (Wow. I wrote that ten years ago. Where has time gone?)
