[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find it sad that anyone looks forward to retirement. I love working. I hate being home. I have zero hobbies. My friends I had are all in different states I have not seen in person years.

It's sad that you have no identity outside of corporate life.  I honestly think people like you have warped brains.  It's like Stockholm syndrome.[/quote]

Why? I don’t particularly care about my company or co-workers. I switch jobs every 3-4 years while career. I like working. So much I have been on several volunteer boards. I am president of a board now. Plan to do for profit boards later. Could care less product or company. [/quote]

You aren't even movitated by the mission?  So what is driving you?  Is it the money?  The prestige? What about working exactly so you like?  I love my job but that is because I love the people and the mission.[/quote]

I love to build things and learn new industries, products, hot topics. Once built and I know it. I get bored and move. Right now into AI. I love to disrupt and build teams. I insert myself every new industry, product or crisis at start and jump jobs. I also willing to relocate. The people or product once learned I move on. I love a crisis! Y2K, 9-11, Financial Crash, Mortgage crisis  or new stuff. Crypto, FinTech, AI, Cyber. I jump in get a big paycheck then 12-36 month on to next.

My problem as soon as I stop I am dead. Hence I don’t care about coworkers and company it is all a temp thing. So retirement would be a living hell.

Most men who retire die within 2-5 years. Or I retire. My old boss was forced retired at 65 his publicly traded company and un-retired at 70. He is now 80 and CEO of a company he founded at 70 and now has 5,000 employees. It was depressing he said. [/quote]

“I’m a know-nothing BS artist who jumps ship before anything gets real.  I’m in AI now, and what I know about it would fit on a postage stamp, but other people my age mostly know less, so I’m good.”[/quote]

So rue :lol: [/quote]
