I don't know how academia works, but what is the implication of "resigning" vs "retiring"? Does that change what happens with pensions or is it just a semantic difference used for emphasis?
- PAClearner 8y agothink 'quitting' vs 'retiring'. no idea about pensions etc. I would be surprised if CMU offers pensions and not a normal 401k.
- greglindahl 8y ago... 403b.
- PAClearner 8y agoso 401k for tax-sheltered institutions? nifty!
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoRetiring = I don't want to work anymore Resigning = I don't want to work here anymore They are trying to emphasize that they are leaving because of dissatisfaction with the school, not just because they are old and are ready to stop working.
