35 Years in the Same Office—Retiring and No One Cares?! 😳

After 35 years of driving to the same government office, my retirement is just days away. I always imagined my last week would feel special, maybe even bittersweet. But honestly, it’s like I’m invisible. Most of my old colleagues are long gone, and the new faces barely know my name. I’m in senior management, but there’s no exit interview, no farewell, just a quick handover of keys and equipment. My pension and benefits are sorted, but emotionally, I feel completely overlooked. Was it always this impersonal, or is this just how things end now? I can’t help but feel disappointed and a little lost. Has anyone else gone through this? How did you cope with such an underwhelming goodbye? I’d really appreciate your advice. 😔 #Retirement #WorkplaceLoneliness #CareerTransition #JobCareer #Career

Burned Out at 36: Early Retirement Left Me Lost and Lonely 😩

Hey friends, I’m a 36-year-old guy who hit $1.7m net worth after years of grinding in finance, then left my corporate job to start my own business. After a recent divorce, I split assets, sold the house, and tried semi-retirement. But honestly? It’s not what I expected. Now, I’m struggling with a weird emptiness. My friends are still climbing the ladder or raising families, and I feel totally out of sync. I thought financial freedom would bring happiness, but instead, I’m battling loneliness and questioning my purpose. Even with hobbies, travel, and a supportive community, the days feel repetitive and uninspired. I’m considering going back to a full-time job just to feel connected again. Has anyone else felt this way after stepping away from work? How do you find meaning when you’ve already achieved your financial goals? Would love your advice. 🙏 #JobCareer #CareerBurnout #WorkplaceLoneliness
