Roger Hoffman: 41 years later, he's still working at Peerless Ohio Gloves

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 12, 2014 - 5:41pm

Roger Hoffman, plant manager of Peerless Ohio Glove, went to work on June 11 just as he had for the past 15,000 days, or so.

That’s 41 years on the job in the same building with the same company.

Most viewers have switched jobs several times, but not Roger. Asked if he thinks of himself as the “ultimate Baby Boomer” because he works for the same company he started with in 1973, he answers: “No!”

“I actually have coffee every morning with guys I know were also at the same job close to, as long, or longer than me,” he says.
