No, I'll be eligible to retire in only two years. Ain't gonna get canned.
Hope that's the case for you as a federal worker. But don't put it past someone to put the major screws to you because you're an "older" worker and they want your job. There's ways they can do it, to force you out when you're not ready to go. Cut jobs, shift job titles, dump double work load on you and suddenly you're not fulfilling your job....I don't trust anyone in the working world anymore. (By the way, I'm also a retired federal worker, as of Oct. 2003.)
