So 686 X $245.65= $168,515.90 That is a chunk of change!
And that my friend is mine that I have earned and I'm going to have it one way or another. If the company thinks I'm just gonna give that back to them there dreaming...............
Are you age 60?
The rumor is that many of our age 60 guys are doing just that. Reaching 60 and calling in sick. Now, why would the company question that?
I don't give a crap if anyone retires with 6 or 686 hrs. But, I do give a crap if their abuse causes me to jump through hoops when I want to go into my DSA. Just so some 60+yr old guy doesn't have to go to the panel, in order to take advantage of an upcoming rule change.
I too, have 686 hrs in my bank.
