What a strangely hostile response to a perfectly reasonable question. If you don’t want people to comment on what you say, you really shouldn’t participate.
Is them saying 45 years of working not enough? If they would have thought their job mattered they would have said that. You guys are just horny to say they did something wrong and they are cutting you off.
Nailed it!
It is interesting that you assume that people are looking to break this person down, it really comes off as projection. In fact, we are curious about the type of job he had because that changes things. If he was a government employee, then retirement is required. If he was in public sector, then what you get will depend on employer. If you're a contractor, then it is fully up to you to put money into it. We have no idea who this person is or what their experiences are like. Assuming the worst from us says more about you than anything.
Are you shidding and farding about what I said enough to send me 2 messages on this?
🚨Creep alert 🚨
Yeah you’re pretty toxic yo
Thanks babe. 💋
Well said.
You're projecting. I actually don't care about the person or their story, but noticed someone have a little temper tantrum when someone asked a question in response.
It wasn't that hostile. And they never said people couldn't comment, that's a straw man you built entirely on your own.
Participate in posting my personal work history which as zero to do with this thread and would do nothing to add to it except to invade my privacy? Ok Chief.
It’s called having a conversation….. someone says something. Someone else asks a question to stoke the conversation….
And like. Context as well. yes it is a diff conversation if they worked 45 years min wage vs 45 years as a mega corp ceo lol. It def is a valid question for someone to understand the conversation that’s happening.
No ones being hostile by trying to get context to continue the conversation that was totally friendly until they got butthurt for some weird reason.
You could say the same thing about this comment.
Clearly the guy is ashamed of his job for the majority of his life and the reason he didn't want to share it is probably the reason they let themselves get stuck there for decades.
It's a shame more people don't accept help from others even in the form of discussion

I was never stuck at any job and when I had my Heart Attack I was doing quite well.
Lmao.
What help>? To be criticized for not owning Apple stock?
Get over your disappointment of not being able to pry into my life,
and go get one yourself.
I heard having a heart attack greatly reduces the chance of having another one
You've hit it on the head and all the naysayers here are just being oppositional. This is sort of like that fake Libertarian rage you see periodically.
