.... feeds the frustration and anger that your comment expresses. Not something you want to plan into the system.
If there was anger in my post, it wasn't intended, none was there as I wrote it.
I think the idea that we would plan to move people from short, high-risk careers to a less physically demanding/risky job for their later years is worth considering. Let them know up front, we should not pull any punches on them. It would be extra years that they would be contributing to their pension, and fewer years that they would be collecting and running up the COLA portion. That has to help balance the books.
Do they really need to collect before 65? How many go out and get jobs while collecting an early pension?
