100-year-old man breaks Guinness World Record for working in same company for over 84 years

Orthmann started working as a shipping assistant at textile company Industrias Renaux S.A., now known as ReneauxView, in January 1938, according to the press release. He was 15 years old at the time and took the job to help support his family as they faced financial problems.

“Back in 1938, kids were expected to work to help support the family,” he said, per the press release. “As the oldest son of five, my mother took me to find a job at the age of 14.”

His passion, discipline and commitment motivated him to keep doing what he loves and, eventually, become an official Guinness World Records title holder for the longest career in the same company

Orthmann was later promoted to a role in sales and, ultimately, to a sales manager position.

He still goes to the office each day and celebrated his 100th birthday with family, friends, and coworkers last month.

After all these decades, he says his best career advice is to find a good employer and follow your passions.

“When we do what we like, we don’t see the time go by,” he said.
