So is it stupid to let my manager at work know *now* that I plan to retire in August 2020 (at the latest)?
I'm the only one on my team who does what I do, and it will be a hardship for them when I leave. My manager has been nothing but fair and honest with me, and extremely supportive, for all the years I've been with him.
I want to let him know that he'll need to plan to train someone else to do what I do so he won't be stuck when I leave.
I can't think of any way this can really hurt me. I'm not interested in promotions, I'm doing just what I need to do to get by at the job, and there are rumors our office will be closing at the end of our lease anyway (we were acquired, and a new company headquarters was built several states away).
Can anyone think of a reason I'll regret telling him now?
