One has to be reminded that in most companies, there is no loyalty by the company for its employees. They would dump you in a heartbeat if it helped the bottom line. Don't believe it? Look at the reductions in medical coverage, the transition from defined benefit to defined contribution retirement plans (figure how much money someone has to put away per month and for how long to have $2 mil for retirement).
I was lucky. Been retired, due to a fortunate combination of events: A defined benefit retirement plan and the sale of my financial planning business. Happy to be out of the rat race.
Do I miss any of it? Some of the people, but not the stress, the character assassins and the (like someone else pointed out) demands on your so-called "free time" simply because you are "exempt".
My wife, who was also in business, wonders how, as busy as we now are, did we ever have time to waste working!!
