I came across this forum a few days ago when googling how to make it through the last days of work before retirement. I have 3 weeks left until I’m retired, and my boss keeps piling up work on me and it’s really getting out of control. He has always been a difficult person to work for, and is the main reason I decided to get out earlier than anticipated.
I have a hard to fill position, but he procrastinated posting my job until ~3 weeks ago. So far the candidate pool is weak. He keeps asking me (semi-joking) if I’m sure I want to go. I think he’s in denial! He acted shocked when I told him of my concrete plans earlier this year; he always knew I was aiming for 2022, but I decided that I’m able to cut the cord a little more than a year earlier than planned at age 60.
Anyway, I found a post on here that I printed up and placed on my monitor. Paraphrasing, it says just stare blankly at your co-workers when they are spouting off crap, because you don’t really care any more! It is truly helping me get through these last 3 weeks, so thank you for this forum and your support!
