Congrats to you.33 years is a pretty long run,enjoy your retirement-you’ve earned it.
There is room for honest debate about that. Assuming 4 years of college plus 33 years actually "working," that would make him 55.
Most of my private enterprise friends work 45 years which make them in the neighborhood of 67.
What's noteworthy about that?
Simple. We non-govermental types paid for their entire retirement, as well as our own; We paid for half of our health care, and all of theirs. and we retire, on average 12 yers later.
Envy? not at all; just the uneasy feeling that we've been had.
If we didn't perform, we were fired. If they didn't perform, they got shunted aside with continuing pay and "automatic" longevity and undefined "step" raises. Short of being caught in serious criminal behavior, "public" employment is lifetime employment. The only fired "public employees" ever are all in Ripley's Museum. all eight of them.
I, too. hope he enjoys his retirement. He didn't invent the "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others" scam.
He simply exploited it.
If the "fairness" that has been politically exploited for four years should be genuine, something needs to be changed sooner, rather than later.
It's not too many enterprises in the real world that can enjoy the luxury and contradiction of having the employee earning more than the employer.
