It's been three years for me and don't regret leaving the company I worked for over 36 years. It was a good company and like any it had it's ups and down. I was a service tech for 10 years and a domestic and international sales manager for 26 years. I saw the world on the companies nickel. Met and worked with many amazing people from around the world.
Having said that I'm so happy to be home. My wife retired about the same time. We like to get in the hot rod on nice days go for little day trips here and there. Same thing in the winter only we take the Silverado.
Good luck with your retirement.
