Good morning!!!!

   / Good morning!!!! #107,112  
Just got off the phone with my manager (first call since being approved for early retirement).. since I am new to the group, he is not going to train me any further. To keep me busy and have a reason to pay me, he has given me a project. I get to document our team transition. He has 14 people counting me, 9 of the 14 got the early retirement offer, 5 took it. He has to make sure the work and knowledge gets properly transitioned to remaining team (and any new folks that get added in next month). Pretty straight forward for my files (just make sure all is on OneDrive and add manager to permissions), but others have official records that have to be stored properly, etc.

Maybe the real plan was to make work so awful it would provide incentive to more people to take the early retirement plan, since 1/3 of the group took it. You can do a month standing on your head if you have to, but hopefully it doesn't sound like it'll be that bad. :thumbsup: I think one of the best things about retirement is being able to call your own shots, for the most part, anyway. There's still gummint intermittence!:laughing:

Getting a project at work to finish out my month is nice, I should be able to do it easily and wrap up the rest of the transition for my old team.. I am surprised that my old team did not all leave (have not heard of anyone yet on old team retiring, know for sure the 2 folks that are getting my old work are not retiring).. The worldwide team that I spent much of my time working with the last 15 years have some folks leaving.. the one that I worked the most in my old role decided rather than working with the new guy, he would retire also.. a large chunk of knowledge is going out the door in 28 days. We have done the services development for a major part of the companies business over the last 15 years and having us both leave is interesting to say the least..

And after you leave, the managers will go to the new people picked to do your old job and ask, “How come YOU let all that knowledge leave?”
