I retired back in Sept 2020.
I was so pumped and right in the middle of covid.
I ended up having a few people around the coffee machine in masks bidding me well.
That was after 35 yrs at the company, same site.
That's it.
No follow up. No nothing.
I don't expect a lot but, after all that time in the company I was underwhelmed by the response. No card, no gift ...
I can't help but to internalize it and feel that I was not the best employee, best teammate, etc.
Part of it was due to Covid circumstances but, still ....
Anyway, just grousing .. part of processing the change.
It reinforces the feeling that I spent way too much energy and time on my dumb a$$ job than on spending that time with family.
