<<<their health deteriorates, both mental and physical. You can only play so many rounds of golf.
i can't accept this, it to me flies in the face of basic logic. a person rushes off to work ("get up in the morning get on the bus, get up in the morning like the rest of us") - Guess Who lyrics! , grabs a muffin and coffee for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, no time for anything better, half the time skips lunch because there is too much work to get down, so that they don't even get to walk to the cafeteria never mind walk around the block. Is that healthy ? the person who retires can take their time with everything, do things properly, make a salad for lunch instead of living in fast food nation. sure, they will be bored from time to time but i can tell you, i've only played golf twice in my life, will never do that silly game again, and i manage on my time off okay.
the preoccupation with retirement is often because, really, what is portrayed in the Dilbert cartoons is funny in the paper, but, hey, the stupidity is real for people...i cannot imagine very many people really liking being on the wrong side of office politics...what could possibly be rewarding about having a difficult boss ? |
