[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 88125, member: 2189"] I happen to know several retired management folks and one being my sup. for my first 10 or so years who retired in the mid 90's. I still see him often as he and his wife and I along with mine enjoy going to NASCAR events together. Ironically, at many races a now past IBT business agent will tailgate with us before and after the race and we do have a great time together. Several weeks ago a sort FT. supervisor I've known for years and that I worked with on our sort for the last 5 or 6 finally retired. On his last night I was on vacation but he was only going into work for a couple of hours and say his goodbyes and depart. He called me at home early that afternoon and said that he and his wife would enjoy it if my wife and I joind them for dinner that evening. We did as I considered that invite a huge honor. Again, great times and great conversations and I had no problem giving him a big hug goodbye. In all cases where I know of retired managers many, many things are said and I have no doubt they are true and honest feelings that I respect and they are completely open about it. The main reason you may never hear them say anything especially negative is this thread to begin with for example. Maybe they are afraid those really honest comments will get way beyond the private conversation that they were intended to be. If a management person knows you'll respect the position they are in and can keep especially person opinions between the 2 of you, you'd be very surprised how open many of them can be and you'll also learn as I have that at the end of the day they are not that much different than yourself. They really are just people too! JMO. Now, do they say anything negative or is it all wine and roses through brown colored glasses? I'll never tell! :tt2: [/QUOTE]
