Any retired drivers returning for peak?

Your pension fund may differ but in mine we get an annual statement and can request a pension estimate at any time as our local website does not have a pension estimator.

I've been retired for over 13 years now and can honestly say that "sitting around doing nothing" is not what a normal retirement is about. If you find yourself if that predicament it just means that you have no hobbies, no outside interests, no marital life, no friends, no ambitions, no dreams and in short-- no life. You should have never retired in the first place. I feel sorry for you.

I generally agree. heh I was thinking that during retirement, I'll be working as much as I do now. 12-16 hours a day. Just maybe not physically as hard.

This is only for those covered by a company retirement plan.

If you add "playing" to your 12-16 hours a day I will agree with this. I hope you don't have to "work" that much.

Work meaning busy time, often there is a thin line between work and play.

I'd tell 'em "yes I'll be back."

Then call in sick.

If your butt is retired after working 30/35 plus years , please don't come back during peak . Go enjoy your retirement, your life , you earned it , life goes on

I'm with you. I do not understand why someone would "retire" and come back to a job. Makes absolutely zero sense to me, as of the moment.

I just got a UPS delivery and the driver (someone who knew me) asked whether UPS had called me to work this peak. They had called some other package drivers but I guess they didn't like me enough (sniff). They must have realized I would say no or weren't desperate enough to ask me.

I heard a 38 year driver (while on lunch break) who is being “forced” to retire because of health issues say, “ What am I gonna do with my time”..........VERY SAD INDEED. 38 years, 68 years old, financially set......SAD that all he knows is this company and this JOB

I know a 70 year old driver still working for the same reason. He says be wouldn't know what to do with his spare time. And he works 12 hours a day.

I told him that I feel sorry for him.
