Meet Maxwell Jenkins, 95 years young, started in the company was he was just 13 years old.
He always said "I'm too young to retire", and he never did. He naturally has the senior position, and he is the only guy that gets to sit when he works. As long as he keeps his beard away from the machine, he gets to keep his teeth. Amazingly today, he still works there, getting close to 200 years old, no one thought he would last that long.
