I'm underpaid, overworked, and not promoted, so it's not as if I have much to lose. I just feel like a complete id--t for not doing this much sooner.

My group got a Voluntary Management Offer to retire about 7 plus years ago. We had five days to decide. I rose my hand after three days. Then we had two weeks to get our situation with benefits, desk cleaned out, computer wiped out, etc. worked out. My co-worker said are you going to keep working. I said yes “Work To Retire”.
@lke+1tGuk7V2 jesus...last year i took over another person's job that did it for 10 years...process extremely archaic and manual. trying to automate/streamline it all so i can just click a button and sit back
I was a Mgr in Eng a few yrs back & they offered early retirement & 6 Mgrs took it.
2 AM's called a meeting & they assigned those 4 Mgrs work to me, so now I've got the work of 5 Mgrs. Did I have a choice? Nope. So I put out fires, nothing else and looked for a job out. Within a week I found a 2nd line job & "Mr. Rice" stated I had to do the 5 jobs as well as my new 2nd line job - I wasn't being released. My old 2nd level to me & the world that I wasn't getting promoted. 3 mos later I abandoned the 1st level jobs, took the new 2nd level jobs & when my id--t ex-boss called about my absence - I told her to pound salt.
Bottom line. This place is a clown act and a bad one at that. I retired a few yrs later & would suggest to anyone always look for the next adventure. AT ANOTHER COMPANY!
I've been quiet quitting for the last 5 years and it's never been better to be employed by T. They're totally clueless! As long as T management is happy, I'm happier!
Find a new job first!
this is the way
