My boss sucks. He's a lazy Mr. Nice Guy who bases all of his decisions on whatever is easiest and keeps most people happy. Needless to say, this has NOT been good for our organization, and we've been counting the years until he retires. He seems to feel the same way, as he started counting down to retirement 5 years ago, and he has reminded us on a regular basis how many years and months he has left, and how he can't believe he's 65 now, how he's not getting any younger, etc.
Well, yesterday, he overshared that he will actually be working one more year. This was supposed to be his last year, but now he's going to hang on until mid-2016. Why? He says he can't afford to retire yet. After all, he just bought a new house and spent $10K furnishing it, and his wife plans on hiring landscapers for the front and back yards of the house. "Life's expensive, yaknow?" he said.
*cue primal scream*
I can't even wrap my mind around it all.
