Of years from now for retirement. A little earlier than I had planned but I think it will be ok. Definitely glad to be out of the rat race and all the stupidity. ** Edited by coshokie at 9/13/2023, 8:01:08 PM

It's not a good time to be >60, this same story is happening all over**
BayHokie • 09/13/23 08:50 PM ET
Horse dookey. It's been a good time to be 60 for 15 years, IMO.**
PhotoHokieNC • 09/14/23 06:27 AM ET
You misspelled 25 years**

statmanfromHCyrs • 09/13/23 09:38 PM ET
Yep, probably due to older and higher in the pay scale for my level. **
coshokie • 09/13/23 08:13 PM ET
Get a severance? Sounds close enough to not be a major concern.**
TomTurkey • 09/13/23 08:02 PM ET
Yeah, not as good as a buyout to leave but ok**
