So context; was watching hockey and talking about a couple OGs my age about to retire…
Me: Damn I’d love to retire with the money they have
Wife: If they play only ten seasons they’re guaranteed a pension too
Me quietly seething that the military doesn’t pay enough in pension for enlisted who retire so I’m currently working part time barely supplementing my income
Breaks out computer determined to find a better paying job
Finds my employer is grossly underpaying me compared to national avg. of similar roles and titles
Me:
Hopefully one of these other roles I applied for will pay a better living wage on top of the crumbs I get from the military…
