I was at a goodbye/promotion luncheon for one of the senior clerks where I used to work. Big turn out, as the person was well thought of.
While there, one of my prev. supervisors brought up a lengthy and very nasty case I was assigned to, and started asking questions, a lot of them, as he now is stuck with the case.
I don't want to be rude, but I think I deserve to be paid as a consultant if the city expects me to be thinking and using my expertise.(Today, I contacted someone in middle management , asking about consulting for the city , and he thought I was kidding)
About half of the former bureau chiefs come back as consultants and double dip after retirement, usually on six figure contracts. Those folks were much higher on the food chain, but why should they expect a free ride from me? The city has never hired low level retirees as consultants in the past.
Am I being un-reasonable ?
