Hello all,
this is an attempt to become active in this community. I am reaching a milestone birthday shortly, and am starting to wonder when (or if) to retire and all things connected to that. I have been following this forum occasionally as a lurker, but now may have to become more serious about engaging also actively.
Currently I hold an engineering/enginerding job and am overall happy with my profession. However, I notice that as time passes, I am getting more and more annoyed with ever increasing paperwork (we need a new term for that considering we are moving away from paper) and also office politics. Also, the overall niceness of co-workers and bosses seems to declining (Or is it my own niceness that is declining? Or am I just starting to see things that I earlier overlooked? Or am I just getting paranoid in these times of Covid?).
In any case, ER is something I am starting to consider more and more seriously. It's not the core part of my work that's bothering me though, and that is why I am quite torn.
