bzcat Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Maybe his disagreed with Hackett's profit margin target and didn't want to be the fall guy later. Preemptive early retirement sounds rather attractive if I'm in his shoes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harley Lover Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 He's 66, might be a quality of life decision. Sounds like he's made enough money to fund a stellar retirement, might be time to enjoy life while he's healthy and can do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking from experience, there comes a time in your life when you realize there are fewer days ahead than what have passed. Work, no matter how enjoyable your job may be, it isn't everything. I wish him well in his retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
