What did you get on the pension buy back?
Not enough. To their credit, I did have the option to keep my pension. Thanks to contributions ending only a couple years after I was tenured, unless I was going to live to 110 it made sense to take the shitty buyout. I take incredible solace in knowing that my retirement was fricked by company leadership wanting to appease stockholders. Always gotta look out for those who are most important

Stockholders hold the risk. You need some “pencil factory” in your life.

Bondholders hold the risk. Stockholders are shite, as proven by every business bankruptcy in history.
I love when the Trumpists come out against workers. 20 years at a company and they think I deserve to be shat upon. You're a fricking embarrassment to real men.

I think it’s pretty pathetic to use the term deserve and real man in the same sentence. If you can’t take your life into your own hands, you shouldn’t thump your chest about your manliness. Enhance your skills to the point you’re marketable to other business and don’t play the victim card. If you were a talented enough, better companies would be knocking down your door.

I’m a worker. All a business is is someone who has traded their labor for capital. They have the right to run the business as they see fit. Are you no longer in a consensual relationship with your employer?

Uh, they have been knocking. I don't take it because I like where I'm at. Six figures, unlimited PTO, WFH full time. I could get a 50% pay raise by taking a new job tomorrow. Unfortunately, loyalty and "wanting to see things through" are important to me, as they are in most "real men". Sorry you've never been valued enough in a job to know that the platitudes you toss about so effortlessly are not relevant to those of use truly valued by our employers.

I guarantee you've never held a senior position, nor have you ever worked anywhere for greater than 10 years. Sad!

A guy on the radio the other day said the company that owns the radio station already put a hold on matching contributions. Can't remember which company it was. Maybe iheart or cumulus.

Weren’t you just crying because of mean old stockholder and muh corporations holding you down lmao? You need to get out of your feelings before you can have a real conversation. You argue with emotions over logic and business sense like a 15 year old girl. Guess that’s why engineers aren’t businessmen.

Done and a 25% pay cut. At least I am allowed to work from home. For the next two weeks. Then my guess is I will be laid off.
Good times.

Don't worry. The "real men" of the OT have your employer's back.

Idiot. The employees of companies with 401k programs are the ones paying taxes for all the rapidly breeding leeches to live on the dole and vote for the Democrats.

That's his point.
Your taxes go up or at minimum stay the same, yet wages have stagnated for decades.

I’m really curious as to how your sexual insecurities found their way into this thread

Will they continue to push $15/hr min wage?

Why should a company help you retire? Suck it up. Don’t have enough? Tough shite.

WTF is wrong with y'all?
You work somewhere 45 years, it's unreasonable to think they should offer you some support after you retire?

Guess what else companies won't be able to afford?
