Or retired early. Many Boomers who were planning on continuing working, changed their minds as we kept hearing how ok it is to sacrifice the older, infirm, and immune compromised for the sake of (a) productivity for business and (b) enjoying themselves for the apparent majority of younger folks ... who haven't figured out yet that they too will get old, if they're lucky

@DeborahForPlus@mas.to @KN3RDS@mastodon.online Yep! And another massive thing: folks who just realized they have ONE life, and maybe the point is not to work as hard as you can to profit somebody else?

@DeborahForPlus@mas.to @megueyb@dice.camp @KN3RDS@mastodon.online This is my story. I'm a low-income boomer who intended to work til age 70 for the max SS payout, but when covid hit, it quickly became apparent that my big-box employer wouldn't discommode any customer just to keep an employee safe. And since I bailed, I **still** don't see employers offering real incentives to potential workers; they'd rather whine about nobody wants to work anymore.
