possible retirement

[davidpizzica]

This is just in the thinking stage now, but I'm considering retirement from Longue Vue Club. I'm not getting any younger and my various health issues are coming into play. I think 46 years with the same golf course is starting to be enough. I'm getting older and the work is getting a little tougher. I'll keep on thinking of it for now.

I'm getting older and the work is getting a little tougher.

Maybe 46 YEARS with the same employer is enough time for that employer to
FIND something a little "easier" for a Loyal Employee to do!

I'd certainly want to schedule a Meeting with the Boss to discuss alternative
job descriptions and/or possible Crew Leader status - rather than just being an
overworked Indian of the Tribe.

There's DOZENS of lighter duty jobs at a golf course and club that don't involve the
manual labor of the Grounds Keepers ... suggest to The Boss that it's time to move you
to a less physically demanding job where your EXPERIENCE and Customer Service Skills can
be utilized by the Course.

If your Boss won't listen - Pay a visit to the Front Office.

I agree with what Phred said. It can't hurt to try.

Yes David, Phreds idea definately sounds worth trying. Good luck! :)

Do what you have to do to take care of yourself and your health. You AREN'T getting any younger (neither am I) and you need to look out for YOU!!!! ;)

Since you are not yet eligible for medicare, what would you do for health care insurance if you quit working?
