Have fun in retirement, it is great especially when you have hobbies (I have several), good friends (I have a bunch) and a good family (I'm Blessed). I wish you all the best!
I had a powerful, stressful job and over 2 years I gradually transferred responsibilities to those who earned the opportunities, and proved able to do the jobs. Then, for a year, I was on retainer introducing staff to clients, helping to build trust both ways between them. This almost 3 year process was a success and when I finally stepped away fully, I never looked back. Retired 3 years now.
Happier than a pig in poop!
Thanks John, I came from 2 stressful jobs as well. Commercial Program Manager for GE in their ED&C lineup. 30 years with them, and wrapped up with Olam Spices as a Buyer/Superviser for 7300 parts/SKU's and I did all buying and Inventory Control. Therefore, always in the hot seat. Now, it is time for wife and I to enjoy She is retiring with 43 years with the Bank.
Time now to enjoy trains, hobbies, family and friends. Feeling truly blessed.
