I've never even heard of anyone getting a pension, out of all my friends in tech & myself. They're basically extinct at this point.

- chrisseaton 9y agoWell I work for Oracle and I get a piece of paper every year telling me how much money is in my 'Personal Pension Scheme'.
- Analemma_ 9y agoAre you sure that's a pension plan and not their internal branding for a retirement savings account? Pensions are totally unheard-of among tech companies, I don't know a single person who has one. There are 401(k)s, and the good companies will match contributions generously, but no pensions.
- chrisseaton 9y agoA 401k is just another type of pension though. When you say 'pension' you really mean 'defined benefits plan'. But that's not what pension means. A pension is any kind of savings or investments for retirement, with certain tax benefits.
- Analemma_ 9y agoMaybe that's the dictionary definition, but in common parlance, everybody uses "pension" in the sense of distinguishing it from a 401(k) or other tax-advantaged savings/investment account.
