It's pretty easy to get sick of any particular employer, though.  Given
essentially no rewards for long-time loyalty, and increasing
difficulties
in finding interesting new jobs due to a combination of age
discrimination,
skill "currency" decay, and being paid too much, it seems to me that
eventually you reach a point where retirement becomes attractive.  If
you can afford it.

What you do AFTER retirement is a separate question.  You either develop
other interests in your 30-50 years working, or you keep doing the same
stuff.  Or combinations thereof.  (that said, I think there's a big
"push"
for people to retire even if they prefer to go on doing the same thing.)
