Kumquat, you are right... somehow this thread got hijacked to focus on working for women bosses ... while this is interesting in an academic sense ... who cares.
My coworkers comments, since I have announced my retirement coming up in July:
- YOUR KIDDING
- how can you do that ? ( sub titled: I have 38 years in and can't afford to do it)
- what are you going to do all day?
from the workaholic
- you don't look old enough to retire new found lack of stress from imminent FIRE
- how can you do that? from the guy with the vacation home, the newest toys that come out every month ...etc.
- will you come back to work as a contractor? NO
- why don't you take a leave of absence and reconsider this NO
- how can you do that? from the guy who said, I don't have to do a 401K.. I have plently of time...
- will you keep in touch ? Sure ...
- you'll be sorry .. SS is going to go bust ... Don't think so .. and quite frankly not counting on it
- have you considered the cost of health insurance? YES
- how can you do that ? from the guy who thinks life begins and ends with the Megacorp....
I'm loving this ... almost as much as FIREing (but not quite). Life is good
