Well let me be the first to educate you then. 30 years in IT. 22+ years in Information Security. 18 years working for the same Company. Forced to retire when I turned 50. (My pension also vested when I turned 50 too.) You know how hard it is for a 50 (now 53) year old to find a new job? In todays' job market?
@gme @tomminieminen American English, right? The equivalent here (In Ireland & the UK anyway) would be "redundancy". We tend to reserve "retirement" for the end of working life, & for those generations wealthy enough to actually be able to afford it. 😅😭
And having recently been job hunting, you have my sympathies. It sucks so bad & the market is horrible. 🫤
Redundancy or not it's called "retirement" over here.
Just like we use "trunk" and "hood" and say "truck" and "dumpster" and you say "boot" and "bonnet" and "lorry" and "skip".
"Redundancy" would be what we would call someone getting "laid off". I wasn't "laid off". It was made clear to me by management they wanted someone else to do my job. My options were (a) quit, or (b) retire.

The Trump administration’s decision to halt all visitor visas for Palestinians from Gaza, which came after pressure from right-wing activists, will be a death sentence for children who require life-saving medical treatment.
Please keep us in your prayers. Today is a decisive day for the people of Gaza: either the war will stop, or there will be forced displacement and the destruction of what remains in northern Gaza. @palestine #gaza #freepalestine
I cannot say it was a body double but why not? Idiots around the world ar calling Putin a war criminal and clamoring for his improsonment.
When other world leaders do something with which we disagree we still give them the respect of being leaders of their nation.
In this case, Zelensky called him a war criminal and Trump said that is not a good way to start negotiations. Empress Ursula continues to call hinm a war criminal.

President Donald Trump will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders at the White House on August 18 to push forward Ukraine peace talks
On August 18, President Donald Trump will host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and top European leaders at the White House to advance negotiations on a lasting settlement to the Ukraine conflict following the US-Russia summit in Anchorage, Alaska.
Trump Welcomes European Leaders to Washington The talks will bring together NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. Trump wrote on Truth Social:
“Tomorrow is a big day at the White House. Never had so many European leaders at one time. My great honor to host them!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Schedule of the White House Summit European leaders are expected to arrive at the South Portico at 12:00 p.m. ET (7:00 p.m. Moscow time). At 1:15 p.m., Trump will meet with Zelensky in the Oval Office, joined by Vice President JD Vance. One hour later, Trump will greet European leaders in the State Dining Room before proceeding to the Cross Hall for a group photograph. Extended negotiations with Zelensky and European leaders will begin at 3:00 p.m. (10:00 p.m. Moscow time).
After the Alaska Summit Speaking in Alaska on August 15, Trump said progress had been made on Ukraine, though “a few key issues” remain unresolved. He later called Zelensky and European leaders, saying all sides agreed that a full peace agreement — not a temporary ceasefire — is the best path forward. In an interview with Fox News, Trump stressed that much depends on Zelensky’s decision, suggesting that Ukraine might have to forgo NATO membership and formally recognize the loss of Crimea, which he described as
“lost under Obama 12 years ago without a single shot fired.” U.S. Officials Outline Possible Compromises Trump’s envoy Steven Witkoff confirmed that “territorial exchanges” will be on the table in Washington. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said both sides must “give something up” to move forward, predicting a future trilateral meeting between Trump, Putin, and Zelensky.
Zelensky’s Response Zelensky emphasized that peace must be enduring and not repeat past compromises. He recalled that Ukraine was pressured into giving up Crimea in 2014 and granted ineffective “security guarantees” under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.
“Of course, Crimea should never have been surrendered, just as Ukrainians refused to surrender Kyiv, Odesa, and Kharkiv after 2022. Our soldiers are achieving success in Donetsk and Sumy regions. I am confident we will defend Ukraine, secure effective guarantees, and our people will always be grateful to President Trump, to America, and to every partner for their support,” Zelensky said.
Russia’s Position According to reports in the New York Times and Reuters, at the Anchorage summit Putin demanded Ukrainian troop withdrawal beyond the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk, and suggested freezing the conflict in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia along current front lines. In return, Moscow reportedly offered Kyiv Russian-controlled parts of Sumy and Kharkiv regions. Neither side has officially confirmed this.
Witkoff called Russia’s readiness to provide security guarantees to Ukraine a “turning point.” Putin, however, spoke cautiously, noting that he saw Trump’s “desire to understand the roots of the conflict” but stressed that lasting peace requires addressing Russia’s security concerns.
“We must ensure all legitimate Russian concerns are taken into account and restore a fair balance of security in Europe and worldwide,” Putin said after returning to Moscow.

La rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs, #paris1, va de la Place des Victoires à la rue Saint-Honoré. Elle existe depuis le Moyen Âge. Son nom découle d'une croix de pierre, la "croix des Petits‑Champs", érigée vers 1416 par Étienne de Bonpuits, échevin de Paris. Le terme "petits champs" fait référence aux anciens marécages asséchés et transformés en champs autour de l'enceinte. Du 1 au 9 : l’îlot "Bons‑Enfants", restructuré entre 2000 et 2004 pour accueillir des services du ministère de la Culture. N° 39 : entrée principale de la Banque de France (hôtel de Toulouse). N° 43 : hôtel Portalis construit en 1733.
Je me souviens être passé en juin devant un grand bâtiment de la Banque de France, près de Bastille ou République, je ne me souviens plus exactement... Mais alors, il n'y a pas qu'un seul bâtiment de la BDF dans Paris ?

"Redundancy" would be what we would call someone getting "laid off". I wasn't "laid off". It was made clear to me by management they wanted someone else to do my job. My options were (a) quit, or (b) retire.
If I quit I would have given up my pension.
So I retired.
Then I immediately sold all my stock.
