Not this month. I retired in February.

I retired because I couldn't do it any more. After forty years, I no longer had the focus to keep "shoving my brain through concrete walls" for eight hours a day.

That's the immediate reason that I quit. But there's been this discontent that's been slowly building for several years. Maybe it's because of seeing too much management chaos and blundering, and then expecting the workers to sacrifice to make things work out. Maybe because it really sunk in how much management didn't actually care. Or maybe it was because of me - because I was slowly burning out and getting old and tired. But for whatever reason, it began to feel hollow - just going through the motions, rather than changing the world.
