Prepositions in relative clauses
I have found following sentence in a book.
My boss, for whom I have worked for over 30 years, has decided to retire.
I think this is a formal sentence because it use 'for' (the preposition) before the 'whom' which is the beginning of the non-defining relative clause. However, I have read that we often use prepositions after relative clauses in speaking. Please someone tell me how can I convert above sentence into speaking or informal sentence.
Thanks.
