Eynsham Red Aug 2024 4:39pm, 11 Aug 2024 11,235 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red Three years + into retirement and I still miss many aspects of my former job in particular tracking down faults/fault diagnosis. But the new shift regime and a handful of people I don’t miss at all.

I would miss that. I also feel valued by managers, which means a lot when in my previous working life I definitely wasn't. I've been doing it 8 years, and don't reach official retirement age for another 13. I hope it's still going then. As things stand in terms of enjoying the job, I would hope to work beyond retirement though I'd probably reduce my hours.

Based on my experience employers care less and less than they used to bout their staff Last week in terms of improving colleague experience, they two highlights were the 2 new senior staff that have joined. Thats totally tone deaf based on the staff feedback they have been getting
