    I’ve become too old to be marketable in free agency so I’m stuck, but you better believe the day it’s financially viable to do so, and not a minute later, my happy ass will walk out into retirement and never look back.

    I was there too. Then the company came out with a buyout that was available for anyone with enough years of seniority.

    The package was worth more than if I had worked until I was eligible for my pension, so obviously I jumped all over that.

    Best career move I’ve made in 20+ years!

      My company (megacorp that bought out another megacorp I worked for) appears to no longer do early retirement buyouts.

      Every year they whittle away a little more at the things that made it a good place to work. The past year has been especially bad.
