In the last 2 years or so, we're hired about 20 people. I would say all (except for 1) are in their 20's and early 30's. In addition, the boss I've had for 8 years transferred to another department so my new boss is younger than my kids.
I try to take it one day at a time and try to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Has anyone else been in my situation and how did you deal with the waiting until you could retire?
Thanks for letting me vent.

The actuality of hating your job but going to it can be very dangerous to your health. You are 59. Stress from your job can bring on a heart attack. Being paid a big salary is not worth damaging your health. If there is any way of an early out retirement even with a reduction in pension, consider doing it.
The only other thing to do is continue working and not thinking 3 years down the road but stay focused on showing everyone you are the best thing that ever happened to the company and they would be lost without your knowledge and experience.
