That would get real old for me, after about a month. I have no hobbies. Hope I figure something out when the time comes

Could they just have made a 13th payment to their retirees? No long term commitment, and everyone happy.
This.
I would probably be lazy for about a half of a year. Let my body heal up, then maybe get a part time job. Give me a little beer money and keep the wife from trying to kill me
This is a good plan.
I got a few more years to go, just don't know how long my body can take it. I don't want to walk out too soon, nor do I want to stay longer than I have to

Just got me a job for next summer. Mowing fairways at the golf course 6amto 10am Monday Wednesday and Friday
Plus free golf and use of the range
Maybe you can plant some marijuana plants in the back.

Are these cuts just in your plan or in Central States also?
Thats my plan. Sit out the winter in front of a fire, let it snow, let it snow. Then round about march april, get a new job.
Need some company?

Central States did not submit an alternative plan, when their original restructure proposal was not accepted.
When they run out of money, they run out of money.

Most people before they retire have their financials in order but really don't have a plan on what they are going to do after they retire. You'll hear answers like they will go hunting and fishing and travel in the RV or visit relatives. Then what? How long does all that take? a couple years? then what ?
these are the people who die within 5 years.
Before you retire , you have to spend as much time thinking about what you are going to do as with your financials. You have to have several purposes.
Along with hunting , fishing, travelling , I suggest you develop a couple hobbies ( before retiring ) and maybe start a part time business with one of them, Volunteer. There are dozens of ways to volunteer in your community. We help with the scouts, swimming lessons at the pool, and sometimes with senior services and hospice.
We have been retired only a little over a year and are so busy I can't believe it. All of it was choices we made that are fun and rewarding . We have plenty of time for ourselves with day trips with the dogs , visiting friends, or helping other people with all kinds of things. We had to make a rule several months ago that we would only do our volunteering work or other such things until lunch time and then the rest of the day would be for us.
Like anything else , a successful and long retirement takes planning.

I will take my chances. Going from having no time to do anything, to being able to enjoy life without the pressure of UPS up you butt every day.

I don't know where you drive, but you really need to get on some rural routes. No stress, no traffic. It feels like you're not even working. It's like night and day. Of course there is no getting around the long days
I feel bad for drivers that are unable to transfer out of centers without losing seniority

If you wait until your last day that would be too late.
