Walter Orthmann, who turned 100 on April 19, holds the Guinness World Records title for the longest career at the same company, spanning 84 years and counting.

That was 84 years ago, and Orthmann is still on the job. He turned 100 on April 19 and holds the title for the longest career at the same company, according to Guinness World Records. In fact, his birthday was celebrated as a holiday at the firm, RenauxView, a textile manufacturer in Brusque, Brazil.

These days, Orthmann works as a sales manager: taking orders from old clients, helping colleagues in sales and overseeing sales in all departments. Until 2016, he was still traveling across Brazil to meet with accounts.“Informally, he’s a lifestyle guru,” said Roberto Sander, a co-worker. “Lots of people seek his advice on how to lead a long and productive life. His philosophy? ‘Just avoid sugar, junk food and soda.

“It was huge and majestic,” he remembered. “Not much went on in those days, so that was a great event that left me — and everyone else — very excited. Six months later, the Hindenburg was destroyed in Lakehurst, N.J. I was shocked when I learned the news.” “There were two big weaving mills in the city, and if you were not hired by one of them, the alternative was to work the land,” he stated.

That’s an awful long time to work anywhere

84 years? Not being lazy? Providing for his family when he could have retired long ago? The man is an OG.

so you're telling me since you were 16 years old you worked at the same damn company? was it fun? id like to know how hard pushing that pencil for points predating computer age was on your wrist? I don't believe this blatant lie.

I hope he gets more than a Toaster when he retired ...

That's like a Brazilian years
