They can't stop someone from retirement because you don't retire from an individual district, not really. Your retirement is through TRS. They can't stop you from retiring if your numbers add up. Seriously. Individual school districts are who you work for, but TRS is who you retire with, not dependent on a school district. A school district has no say in your retirement and does not determine your date of retirement as they do not pay you directly in retirement.

@@Chicago48 The NOW has got nothing to do with the school that they are working for as TRS in Texas is ran by the state. If they don't have enough years in to add to 80 (their age plus the numbers of years that they have worked) then they must find other employment. There are so many, many entities that pay into the TRS system from teaching hospital systems to prisons and more. They can get another position that pays into the retirement system and they can even switch their time in to the ERS system. I retired with TRS. I have some idea of what I am saying as it pertains to TRS. Having retired from teaching, I know that in my 29 years I saw mass layoffs many times in many different school districts in the Region IV area. Districts I worked for did the same, and one district didn't give any pay raises for 5 years to prevent layoffs. A public school job is like any other job with ups and downs. It is not a secure position and hasn't been since the 60's.

And after a few years word of mouth I kept getting more work. Now it's 10 years later. I'm making 6k month work 18 hours a week. Single dad so I have tons of time for my kids and no daycare needed. Maybe when they are moved out I'll pick up more jobs. But maybe I'll decide to live even smaller and just enjoy all my free time. I'm a saver so I've been crushing it since covid.

So employers were basically calling employees lazy or whatever when they didn’t want to return to the offices. But when they do, and they join the “family” (barf) they are treated like this. But you STILL expect us to treat your corporate job like our “family” and be all about our “team” when this is just constant. Cooperate America needs to get real. Those people aren’t your “family” and they don’t value your “core mission” and they never will because we all know this is what you think of us.
