[quote=Anonymous]Did she tell her boss she was retiring at 65?

Are the timelines on these projects 3+ years in the future? Silly example, but is she an astronaut who was slotted to fly to Mars?

If so, then I see why they need to give the project to someone with a longer runway. When I told my boss I was leaving in six weeks, I wasn’t put on the conference roster for the following year.

But if she just said “no, I don’t have plans to retire yet”, then they’re supposed to treat her like her peers in her job/rating.

Projects/areas of responsibility do get moved around though, especially for more senior GS employees, even when people aren’t retiring. Some agencies are more fluid than others. I think my husband’s responsibilities have changed five times in three years, and they all give themselves new titles, but functionally, they are all doing the same work for the same pay.

So if she’s still in the same role, at the same rate, doing similar work, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.[/quote]
