> Work somewhere ten years and then decide you hate it? Either work there another 20 years or quit and lose your pension. That's not usually how it worked. > I have a pension from the 1990's. Worked there 7 years. I'll get around $150 a month when I retire As you yourself note. You didn't lose your pension by leaving after 7 years, you still get it. Sure it's minimal because you only worked there 7 years instead of 40 but you didn't lose it. > I have no idea how young people get these fantasy ideas about the past. I wish I was that young but I also will eventually receive a pension from a company where I worked for a few years in the early 90s. It'll be like $100 but I only worked there a few years.
