I just got my retirement confirmation today. I picked the 28th of June for my retire date and 27th last day working. Letter states I will be paid in in the first week of August for the month of July and august. So maybe retiring end of Month was best? I don't know what would of happened if I retired early or middle of June? would they pay me a half or full month of pension for June? Hopefully this will help others nearing retirement

No they will not pay you half a month, like I posted before I was cleared on the 1st day of December and 3 month's later they wanted the whole month of December's pension check back. :censored2:ing :censored2:'s.

I last day was on May 31. I had to use vacation days and personal days starting in April which lasted until May 31st. Received 1st check from Local 3 days later for month of June. Then ever since then direct deposit, and always on time. I think the company and Union wanted to make sure I couldn't return. I was a union steward and fought the company on every grievance I processed. Been retired 27 years now. Need only 3 more years to get my 30 years back I gave to the company.

2 more days!!! Don't know what to say besides it's still stressful just finishing up the week. Why I don't know ---but it still feels I should do my job as I always did. I think it be easier if I didnt like by management team. If it was between me and UPS it been SVD and sick days all week. Things I noticed many are supportive , a few got the Im leaving to soon due to age, wait for the more money, now the feeder network has the buyout for full-time first of the year rumor flying around. I see as of now it's for pilots and mangers as of now. Anyway I am still determined I made the right decision at 51. I can pay my bills , still invest in my roth and if need be pick up side jobs for hobbies if need more. I never ever ever ever thought retiring would be such a decision making experience.

Brother make your last few days one of happy remembrance. You did it and earned it. Just take a deep breath and tell all your co workers goodbye.
