I am within striking distance of retirement. But 1 more year will net me a couple of hundred more a month towards medical insurance as well as about $200 more a month in additional pension, and another year of 401K investments.
I’m in a situation now where I can go, but I’m going to try to hold out for that extra year, plus a half month so that I can get both this year’s performance bonus and next years.
But if push comes to shove, I’ll get through this month and get the end-of-fiscal-year full bonus anyway. I am fortunate to be in a better position than most, but there are a few of us speaking the same language.
They are still regrouping from the last mandate, and they hadn’t really completed their plan for the previous one 3 or 4 weeks ago. I think that they are kind of between a rock and a hard place regarding our group anyway, because they can’t keep chairs fulled as it is, without a handful more leaving. Seems the stupid certification our jobs require, which I thought was an idiotic idea initially, has come to be a lever we can use now against upper management.
how far to Medicare eligibility?
that certification is going to come in very very handy!
