Can't convert? or are they just out to fuck you.

Pension? What's that? Unheard of these days.

You don't have one from TW? I do...

Nope. Did you start pre-merger with Turner? I'm guessing they got rid of them after the merger. No Turner people have them.

No idea. I prolly started in 96.

That's pre-merger.

They won't convert the pension, no.

I think I was offered a choice of which way to go ages ago, and apparently picked the wrong one for leaving the company.

 

[Valve1138]

Shitty

I listened to the old guys way back then that said the one I chose was way more money or something.

That's what I get for listening to old people.

Did you just ask me to put you on ignore?

 

[Syrup Beaver]

Well that would involve you listening to old people, then, wouldn't it?

I know. Quite the conundrm.

I setup an interview time with the guy who runs the bootstrapper guild. Apparently I'm going to be featured in his new Skype voice interview series.

He sent me a really nice email about how he had been following along for the past few months and felt that I had a lot to add to their community. I'm hoping it'll get my exposure up and maybe even help me generate sales. Fingers crossed!

And if anyone is interested, I'm almost done with my lotus steering wheel rewrap. Hoping to have it together by the weekend.

I have one. Up to 85% of my salary if i stay 37 years.

37 years??
That's a knee slapper.

 

[Domon]

37 years??
That's a knee slapper.

30 for pension in general, but if you do an extra 7 you hit the max.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

37 years??
That's a knee slapper.

1) His military service rolls into that.
2) I know people that have worked for the government since they were 20, for at least 40-something years.

When are you going to retire? When did you start working? Will the difference between those be 30-35 years? More?
It's just rare to find someone that stays at the same company for that length of time

they wont give me my first 4 years for prior service :/ Granted, thats fair, as i was in school, but still

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Still something like 8 years though, right?
And it still doesn't make 37 years an impossible achievement.

 

[Domon]

i was only in for 8, so 4.

But yeah, 37 isnt unreasonable at all

 

[JAXvillain]

I've been here 12 already. There's no way I'll last 25 more. 25 MORE!
