I love my job, my boss is 80 and sharp as a whip, and I hope to keep at it (and build some nest egg for kids) beyond retirement age.

But a big value of my job is the worth of the pension; if I never start collecting it’s a bad deal. I guess I could go private but with ageism probably slim pickings for a 70 year old.

Some people work to live and some live to work. Your boss sounds like someone who lives to work.

RASOWs have salary offsets so you don’t really get it all. And it’s time limited.
