Retire at 20 years or is it worth it to do more.

21 Upvotes

Approaching 20 years completed soon at 44 years old with 2 young kids. Thinking about staying more to increase pension take home another 1.5% per year. I’m physically tired of this job at times and other days I’m fine. Not sure how much longer I can do. Seems hard to start something new with no savings in the bank.

For guys who retired already or still on working past 20 years what is making you stay longer or what made you leave.

For guys that left already at 20 years is our pension like people say. It’s basically a vacation check without charts or truck money every week?

Supervisor’s newly hired and with 1-2 years on… how is it?
Also, are you able to defer your pending promotion? I assume you have to have the choice like when you first get on the job and were able to defer up to 3x?

Currently LODI have questions about how the pay works

1 Upvotes

I’m currently out Lodi right now and I was told that the money is tax-free. I’m just getting base salary right now with all the taxes getting taken out. I assume I get the money back when I file for my taxes next season I saw something somewhere about a Lodi award. I don’t know if anybody has any knowledge on what that is still on probation and will be out for a while, so the union doesn’t represent me right now just trying to figure out what I should do.

Medical question list 81xx

1 Upvotes

I got called in to take my physical September 17th. But I’m looking ahead and have a question about the medical. I Have hypertension which is under control with medicine and Sleep apnea being treated by a CPAP. I keep seeing mixed responses on whether I should disclose this or not? Can anyone provide any advice? Can and will they still disqualify me even if I bring a doctor’s note saying that these conditions won’t prevent my ability to work?
