The return box for my laptop came Thurs. I packed it up and brought it to Fedex yesterday. They scanned it, I got a receipt and that was that. Retired. By the time I got back in my car, 6 months of pay had been dropped into my checking account. No doubt automatically triggered by the scan of the return box. Considering I was going to retire end of May, I could not have imagined a better, realistic, finale to my career. I'll be getting max unemployment payments as well. If layoffs are rumored and you want out, set your attitude knob to sh!tty, let your mgr know you're not really interested in doing anything new and then hope for the best. I'll take 6 months pay, plus a year of max UI benefits over a good luck card at a retirement lunch any day. I woke up today thinking "Oh good, it's Saturday", then quickly realized EVERY day is Sat now....the Endless Summer has just begun. Good luck to all and remember:

@ar OK, probably not a year then, lol. Re-doing my resume to make me seem not too attractive was pretty fun. I made sure to give easy clues as to the fact I'm well into my 60's
so I figure that should be enough to keep them away and I won't have to mention the "Anger triggers from the personality mgmt course I'm completing"...if they do contact me ;)
@fz Final papers signed 4/10. On the afternoon of 4/23 the box arrived. I dodn;t get any email warning like some have mentioned.

I’m with you, so glad to be DONE!
To get a full year of unemployment benefits you will need to apply for an education extension, so good luck in your studies too
Same story for me…it’s good to be done
This is the way.
Congratulations and good luck!
