Blindsided this morning. After 28 years with the railroad I was informed that on 9/7/22 my position is eliminated. Strange it’s 1 week to the day after I turn 70. 1 of 135.
On the positive, they will continue my salary and benefits to 9/7/23. And still get the bonus in the spring. Then between railroad retirement and pension I will collect almost as much as working.
I was not expecting this and I am in shock. I have 6 weeks vacation to burn by September so there is that too.
I don’t know what I am going to do everyday. I never contemplated retirement, thought I’d work forever.
The boat will keep me busy thru then but it’s going to be a bad winter with nothing to do.
I never expected this. It’s going to be different.
