My father's last company started to fall apart a few years ago, and he kind of let go of it and let it die. He is in the early 60s.
It was a rather gradual transition from him working hard every day and an occasional weekend, to not doing much at all.
He did some traveling, then started fixing and renovating the dacha/summer house, reading books, pestering me to explain how this or that internet or tech thing worked, and so on.
On the personal side, he became much more relaxed and less snappy/irritable.
- epalmer 10y agoI went from working 70+ hours at as a senior manager at a bank doing compliance to working 40 hrs a week at a university. I run a very small development team, scrum coach a larger team and get to code some days. My kids tell me that I am no longer grumpy. I feel better about myself.
