[QUOTE="mg5, post: 1043779, member: 9766"] Here is another spin on this subject. As a management person we have to wait until 55 years old to go with pension and benefits. I can't tell you how many of my drivers who started working after me and retired before me. I started as a full time driver, and went into mgmt just short of ten years and did it for what I thought was the right reasons. Never knowing you give away years added til retirement. Maybe I just never asked the question and I know things changed for us ( benefits, cost, Union not paying etc ). But in hearing from the retired employees who called, stopped in, sent emails it was great to see how well they looked. How much they are enjoying life, feel really great and time to spend with family, friends and things they want to do. That was really hard to get around when we say you can't put a price on time. Many left at 50, 51 or 52. I was happy for them and to see how they were doing and a little envious ( maybe more ) that I could not be doing the same. So look at it that way, that we were forced to stay those years before 55 that you could look into other interests and be years ahead of the 55 issue. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
