838.0. "Good By" by NODEX::POLIKOFF (Arnie MRO1-3 POLE P14 Office 32503) Tue May 24 1994 13:33

Dear Friends;

	I am taking the early retirement package offer by DEC. It has 
been interesting working here for the past ten years but I think it is 
time to move on. This has been the longest that I have ever worked for 
any company. The funny thing is that I started my career in this very 
same building at 200 Forest Street when I got out of college. At that 
time I worked for RCA and I was the first occupant in this building.

838.1	what early retirement?	NECSC::BIELSKI	Stan B., ESG/MA Are we here yet?	`Wed May 25 1994 08:36`	8
	Arnie, best of luck to you. All I'm hearing about is TSFO (layoffs); what early retirement package offer are you referring to? More than idly curious, Stan
838.2	How to retire early	NODEX::POLIKOFF	Arnie MRO1-3 POLE P14 Office 32503	`Wed May 25 1994 11:13`	12
	Any one who gets laid off and is 55 years old or older and has worked for the company for ten years or more ALSO gets the early retirement package. The early retirement package is medical insurance for life. There may be other benefits but I did not get the package in the mail yet. The important thing to note is that you must be laid off to get the early retirement package. So if you want to retire early, rush right over to your boss and tell him/her that you want to be included in the current company down-sizing. Arnie

	.0 is gone, but I'm going to reply anyway. According to my 1991 benefits book, which may be out of date, you can retire at age 55 without being laid off. There may be some additional retirement benefit that people who are laid off at age 55 get.
