LOL. No worries. I missed "week" vs. "weeks" too. 😲

Best wishes for the slower pace...I don't think we're getting in game anytime soon. Ugh!

If you're closing in on retirement but with several years to go, you probably made the right decision. It can be hard starting over in a new job after age 50 (not so bad at 40 but at 50, well...). I'm a firm believer that when one is younger and has good job prospects, it's far better to stick to one's guns and leave. Getting talked into staying can be a strain for both the employee and the employer, with or without the drama, and even if your remaining time goes well and even if there is significant benefit to you, hindsight usually shows it probably wasn't the right decision. Been there, done that at least 2-3 times myself. But when you're older, you're more concerned about keeping a job long enough to be able to retire and so it may be worth staying and putting up with whatever negativity occurs. Hang in there.
