[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 987287, member: 24302"] I came back for the pension. Was told I'd top out in 7 to 8 years too. By the time they terminated the pension plan the economy was tanking. Eventually had health problems and that plus the economy keep me in a job that I'll never top out in. It isn't as cut and dried as leaving if you don't like it for many of us. Just accept that you got yours because you got in early enough. I'd be in your situation too but I messed up leaving when they weren't giving raises. But that doesn't do anything for the many thousands who've had to accept a lot less for not getting in when you did. Swing driver? About a dollar an hour more for being a human ping pong ball. Newer swings will work forever without topping out either. And all those extra hours will be drying up soon. You are living in the past while the harsh reality of the future is bearing down on us like a freight train. There's not much use in saying the top out situation needs to be addressed because they've been telling mid-range employees for over 10 years now that they're looking into it. We've been played for suckers. Hope you're right when you said they'd take care of us in a buyout. Past performance indicates we'd better not get our hopes up. [/QUOTE]
