They offered everyone on the property the option to retire with the best package they've had to date. So I took it.
Did I get the same amount of money as someone who worked there for 25-30 years? Nope. Do I care? Nope.
Let me say it again; I despised what the company had turned into.
So now I'm doing what I love to do. Am I making as much money as I was?
Nope. Do I care? Nope.
Why?
Because A. I'll be making more within 2 years with a little hard work and B. I don't consider doing what I love to do work.
Life is way too short to be unhappy going to a job 40 hours a week you can't stand.
Okay...*stepping off my soapbox now*  |
You retired?
So you took a reduction in pay and hope to be making more in two years with "a little hard work"
Sorry to be a critic but that's not my idea of retirement. Sounds more like a change of jobs.
Maybe it's just me but my idea of retirement is summers at the lake (with no job) and winters in Florida (with no job).
I don't care if I never see another snowflake for the rest of my life!
