This is a good thread for me. I know I need to retire, and have put 60 as my end date. My job has horrific hours, does not allow for enough vacation time (it's there it theory - ha!), and I need to spend more time with my family before I drop dead at the office.
On the other hand, there is something addictive about it, and I am going to have to separate what I do from who I am .
The politics at my last company was truly toxic, and I had plans to walk out the door in January of 2016. I took the last week in December of 2015, and lasted four days before I went running back to the office. Made the mistake of watching day time television. Pathetic. I was subsequently recruited, and started a new job.
There is less toxic politics at the new job, but the support staff
leaves much to be desired, and the paperwork end of my job takes too much time.
