Okay, but what about hanging in there for the pension in spite of the bad pay, then they terminate the pension just as the biggest recession in 70+ years hits? Or maybe one lives in an area where FedEx Ground is about the only option that pays better than Wal-Mart, McDonald's, or Circle K? There's not a one size fits all solution for everyone as different regions, different market conditions, family obligations, etc add up to reduce options. The one thing that really bugs me is we invest a large portion of our lives on promises made by companies and then when those promises aren't kept there's always someone saying either live with it or completely turn your life upside down at 42, 48, 53. It's always on us, don't complain, don't point out company wrongdoing. Well I think we should shout it out loud to prevent new victims or make the company act more responsibly with their employees' livelihoods.
