There was a series of closures in Michigan during the 2010’s that had me sweating a bit. But fortunately I had a decent amount of seniority by then. Things were getting weird even before I left (I’ve been out about 2 and a half years now). Glad I’m out.

I'm glad I lived to be able to retire. Plenty of my co-workers, who were younger than me, didn't. When I took the job, they told us the life expectancy of a C.O. was 58. I promised myself then and there, that I wasn't going to be doing the State any favors, and die while I was still working for them.
