Welcome

Welcome to issue -12 — Ten things I won’t miss about working.

This week, I will think about ten things I won’t miss about working and ponder the age-old question — are people in the pension industry from another planet?

Ten things I won’t miss

As I was putting this list together, it struck me that it was remarkably like the list of things I would miss (Issue -15: Ten things I think I will miss from work when I retire).

10. The commute

The commute was also number 10 on the list of things I will miss.

While I will miss the ‘me time’ and the sunrises, I won’t miss the stress of the drive down the motorway and the early morning starts.

9. Graduations

I will miss seeing the students and meeting their parents. But I won’t miss the ceremony. I won’t miss the speeches. And my hands won’t miss the clapping.

8. The early mornings

I will not miss the early morning starts.
