a job is just a job

shocked-pikachu You're telling me it's not supposed to be? I'm supposed to make it my entire personality and dedicate my life to it?

For a lot of older people, it is. It's actually pretty sad. Some of them don't even know what to do with their free time once they retire. That's why so many go back to work.

Or they go back to work because their retirement doesn't pay enough to survive sadness

Many such cases

Yeah strangely enough none of my grandparents who had decently sized pensions ever decided that retirement was too boring and that working was actually the thing they liked. Somehow they all found other ways to keep themselves occupied either gardening, helping with grandchildren, traveling the world or just reading a whole lot.
