Why don't old folks retire when they can?

My relative is taking over a position as soon as this person retires. No entitlement issues at all. ~a 22-yr employee. It's the progression the company has taken

Anyone who feels ''entitled' are the loads who won't retire when they are eligible, because they can't afford to, or they won't, or they have nothing else to do.

No need for the name-calling. I must of stuck a nerve

As far as I know the point system is still in place

Which are you?

That's absolutely exactly right for me.

I currently work 7-5 and I'd honestly consider switching jobs for a more flexible schedule. There is so much wasted time during "working hours".

I think a boomer would look at me like I was from Mars if I told them that. The ones I've worked with seem to get their self esteem from not only working 7-5 with a short lunch, but showing up early and staying late.

That sounds like hell to me.

I think the younger generation has a pretty good attitude when it comes to work flexibility. There is a certain segment of workers that seem more interested in being present at work certain hours than focusing on actually completing tasks. Just my opinion in what I have observed, people I have worked with.

I also think you have to respect the fact that many millenials are not 100% about maximizing salaries. Other things such as the companies attitude towards contributing to the local community is important as well. Just my two cents.
