I first started posting here in 2017, more than 6 years ago. I was hopeful at that time of retiring within 2 years which then became 4 years with an absolute target date of 2021. then Covid arrived and changed everything; when to retire, where to retire, etc.. not having to go into the office for almost 3 years made it much easier to continue mentally. But now, for some astonishing reason, I find myself still working.
Well, I will have my annual review in the next week or so, and I have to pull the pin. I will probably hang on until the end of February, to ensure that I receive my annual bonus. I don't expect that there will be any negative consequences on the evaluation of my bonus as a result of giving notice now, but most people who intend to quit, rather than retire, will just wait and then give their notice after the bonus hits their bank has anyone ever encountered problems with respect to the assessment of their final bonus when they have given notice to retire just after it is due to be paid? I don't think there is anything I can do about that if I believe something negative is going to happen except to quit as a matter of principal, but that will probably be cutting off my nose to spite my face.
I also have some unused vacation days that, technically, will expire at the end of the year. so I am looking to get special dispensation to have those carried over and paid out, as well. One of my kids thinks I may be trying to flex too hard on those two points.
Anyway, I have agonized over this far too much, for far too long, and I just wanted to tell someone other than family that Daddy's finally done.
I look forward to engaging with the group on all of the regular retired folks.issuesn
See you soon!
