Pensions used to be the main avenue for retirement benefits. Pensions required you to stay at one place.

Well also companies used to want to employ you for life than to juice quarterly figures. That two way street closed in 90s and since then, well, it's been a fight

I’ve been at EY for 21 years. I’ve stayed because every time I have been bored or needed a change, I had the support to do so. I’ve changed jobs probably every three to five years.

It's easy to get complacent. But there's also life outside of work. Maybe they have accomplished much more outside of work, and treated the job as a job.

I think pensions and the extra effort required to research/find a job, prepare for an interview, go to the interview, etc in person without any (or at least very fast or functional) internet made the process and effort much more burdensome.

I couldn’t imagine it either but I think that also just reflects our generational differences of how we think about work and life too

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
