     OK.  I kinda see where you got yourself lost on this one.  When you quoted only part of what was written, you must have gotten confused about the meaning.  Ironically, the part you trimmed was your own words.   I agree, silly you. Captain

 

 

 

No,  I wasn't  the one who was"lost",...at all.

the original post asked the question : "If RR Retirement was gone...Would people stick around in this industry?

Suggesting (abstractly,  to avoid hurt feelings)  that if you take away the cheese, some of the rats might go elsewhere. Pirate

And I was merely making a motivational analysis based upon the limited set of factors presented for consideration.

A retirement package certainly might be a factor in one's decision where to work, but if it alone were the determining factor, My feeling is that it (the career path) would be a life wasted.

 

 

  My feeling is that if you overwater your grass, it may kill your lawn.  That would be my alalysis of your analysis based on it's relevense to this thread-none.

(*sigh*) Interesting that the OP even acknowledges partial agreement with me, yet you continue with the denial.

 

ZUG and I don't agree all that often, but  here... we do, at least to an extent. And yet the contrarian in you thrives-on?  Blindfold

 

Well, even if the concept of "gone" were better defined to mean "if the money the workers already had  stranded in it, was no longer there" ... then, I'd still say that IF the retirement alone is what you are after, you shoulda found something you enjoyed doing, instead.  Thumbs Up

     ConvictedOne calling me a contrarian?  I guess I'll take that as a compliment.  Thanks Buddy, and have a nice day.Smile
