I'm class of 2013. April 1 is the day, which means March 29 is the last work day.
Because we're a relatively small law firm, and I have some nice credentials and certifications, I've agreed they can leave my name on everything and suggested it would be foolish to announce an official retirement. It might affect future business. I think my partners agree with that and find some value in keeping my name associated with the firm.
So how do I avoid them doing a retirement party? Everyone I know who has said they don't want one ends up with one anyway. Maybe you just can't avoid it.
My intention isn't so much to retire as it is to just quit coming to work and to quit getting a paycheck. Retirement sounds like something really old people do!
Oh well. Maybe I'll just sneak out a week or so early.
