• In January 1938, Walter Orthmann started work in the shipping department at Industrias Renaux S.A., a textile company in Brusque, Brazil, at the age of 15.
Eighty-four years later, he still works there, now as a sales manager, Oddity Central reported.
Orthmann turned 100 years old on April 19, but he has no plans to retire: "I like working here at the company," he said.
He noted that everything is easier now, with mobile phones and internet connections, but he no longer travels like he used to.
"You have to like to work. You can't just do any job to say that you are working," Orthmann advised. [Oddity Central, 4/27/2022]
