I have been retired for three years now and loving it. My boss was just like this. I was with my company for 35 years when I left and was so happy to do so. The other thing was that the owner of the company was the staunch liberal communist and we made everything in China and that really bothered me. We didn’t always do that. We had a small factory in New York when I started and everything was made there slowly over the next 35 years they bought a plant in China and built everything in China eventually, did you know the Chinese have to own 51% of the company, have a good day
I did/do. A colleague of mine was posted to run a branch factory for the company in China, because that was required to get any access at all to the China market. One thing he remarked on after his return was the monumentally pervasive corruption. His final comment was that in Chinese there is not even a word for ethics. (Apparently that's a Christian concept.)
