From someone who is still in the trenches of employment. I am glad I have a job. I am several years away from being able to retire (unless I win the lottery that is - LOL). I have been witih my employer since 1988, and I have survived (so far) 3 changes in corporate ownership. Until the past few years, I never understood why my father was so glad to retire when he did at age 62. The never sending internal politics, "gotcha - you made a mistake" and CYA that my job and my company has become will be something I will not miss. Just my two cents.
