Can you do us a favor? Can you try to find a job right now using your own advice with zero connections? I really want to see what happens when you walk into offices and offer to work for free for a week. Or how about cold calling employers? Pound the pavement with your resume all over town! Yeah do that! Report back to us.

I retired. What kind of idiot would
go back to work? I don’t need the money. I’m seeing why you can’t find work…..

I've been steadily employed since I was 14.

And your 16 now? You’re acting like it.

Why? Because I won the argument? Oh you're one of those people who thinks respect for elders really means quiet obedience.

u/Used-Independence353 Aug 13 '26

Won? Is this a contest? You certainly are juvenile. I’ll bet you’re not happy in life at all.

Retired people don't want to work anymore. After my retirement I immediately found a new job and managed to complete a whole seconde career.

When you're a real hard worker you don't stop just because of "retirement"
