Dear Amy: I have worked for the same company for more than 30 years, and I am ready to retire in a few months.
What would be an acceptable length of notice to provide them?
I have received perfect performance reviews for the last 10 years, so I know they are happy with my work.Dear Ready to Go: My research on this topic indicates that when it comes to retirement, three to six months advance notice has been considered standard, although given your perception of the company’s attitude toward you, as well as your attitude toward the company, in my view three months seems generous.
In terms of your well-deserved recognition, I’ll relay an anecdote from a close friend of mine who announced their retirement last week. Anticipating some awkwardness, and possibly some actual emotion from the employer upon hearing this retirement news, the employee’s announcement was met with: “Thank God. We were going to eliminate your position, anyway.” This very long-term employee wasn’t even granted an exit interview.
Needless to say, his parents never did discipline him, and so, we never had a good relationship with him.Anyway, his mother wants us to meet his fiancée, but my sister and I are reluctant because he didn’t ask us , and because he is obnoxious and hard to be around.Dear Aunt: Many a brat/beast has been redeemed and reformed by choosing the right contrast in a spouse. It’s a “tale as old as time” – to quote the Disney version.
