It took him almost 3 weeks to give me an answer after I submitted my proposal. I told my wife "to heck with him, I'll just stay and take his money". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are department heads which are considered managers here. Our only boss is the owner. I guess he manages the managers but we all refer to him as the owner or dealer principal.

oldtimer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Please, let's get into even finer points of technicality. Guess who else is an owner and yet a terrible manager? One can own a commercial entity and be an ineffectual manager, and even self promote to get a higher position despite a proven record of incompetence. It is called the "peter principle" and is far more rampant than it should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2K Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Congratulations Kevinmi. You're gonna love it. I'm not sure that most people understand what retirement is really like. If you think about it, most peoples lives revolve around their jobs. Everything is scheduled around the job. Our jobs control our lives. Retirement means that all of your time is free. It just takes preparation, as Coytee said, and taking care of yourself. I worked all the time for 36 years so retirement is like NOT getting kicked in the testicles every day. Prepare yourself and be greedy, get all of it that you can. These retirement years have been the best years of my life. Keith 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
