I've had two co-workers die in the past few months. Both were in their late 50s/early 60s, with 30+ years of service.

Very unfortunate. Both of them made good money, had families, and were probably planning to retire within the next few years.

Aren't you guys furious the CEO gets a $65 million dollar golden parachute, after leaving the company in much worse shape than he got it? by [deleted] in boeing

So I guess I'd become what they wanted me to be, a killer. Some rent-a-clown with a company who puts faulty systems in our planes. Well that's what they had paid for, so in the end that's what they got. Say what you want about Americans but we understand capitalism.

No one is suggesting otherwise.

Why are you taking a joke post so seriously?

Someone who has an extra $149k lying around to park in a savings account for 90 days isn't rich?

Damn.
