Dec 2 is 75 days beyond Sept 18. A lot can happen or change by Dec. I wouldn’t put in for retirement just yet and be excused until then unless I defintely wanted out anyway. Wait and see what happens, could still retire later and not get the shot. Why are they rushing retirees?
I can’t retire until Dec 2022 at the earliest, and I won’t have 30 years until Feb 2023. So I’m hosed in that regard if they force me out. But I ain’t quitting so that’s exactly what they will be forced to do since I won’t take the shot.
