[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another 50 yo, "coasting" as a mid-level manager here. I'm burned out and unmotivated. I'm taking more leave, working from home more, and fantasizing about temporarily reducing my hours. I technically have less than 8 years left until I could retire and wonder how I'm going to get through it ...[/quote] Be careful, I would have written the same thing a couple years ago when I was 50. I didn't realize that I was coasting until I looked back on it. I had a lot of time to think about it because I was laid off with a bunch of other "senior employees" (i.e., over age 45) when new management came in. 18 months of unemployment before finding work at 2/3 my previous income. You may be older, more expensive and less essential than you think in the eyes of others.[/quote]
