So, they received my retirement notice about three weeks later. Just stayed long enough ensure I received the full company match for 2023, and then I hit the ground running.
That gave me enough time to get things ready with the family and ensure the finances were in order. Haven’t missed being at wok one day.

I am with you....I retired on my own terms.
Too much company politics that were hindering things I wanted to achieve, plus I was going to have a 4th new boss in a span of 18 months.
I had given them plenty of notice and they were a bit slow in finding my replacement that had the same skill set. When the 4th candidate didn't accept the offer (I am guessing they were wanting to save money from my salary) I set a final retirement date.
I will however say that CAO of the company and I got along really well...he liked my ability to analyze financials on the fly.....provide solutions....and stand my ground on my decisions. At my retirement dinner, he had a really nice speech which made me feel appreciated.
That confirmed for me it was time to leave on my terms.
