Retiring because of so many assorted reasons; burned out mentally, emotionally, physically because of low pay, excessive time and quality demands, we are responsible for every little mistake made by dictators ("it's part of the job to find it and fix it...") working almost 7 days a week to make a living wage, the risk at any day or time the account could be lost for any or no reason or explanation at all, no backup jobs or unemployment benefits, as well as seems to be becoming more and more common with late pay, and I could go on and on.

I'm tired. Worn out, burned out, and sick of all of it. I love the job, but I do NOT love the conditions that come with it now and any protests you're told more or less to take it or leave it, there's a dozen behind you who will take it, so move along.

I can make more money on retirement and only bare part-time MT than I can on working full-time and then some.

I'm done with greedy MTSOs and cheapskate facilities who have ruined this whole business by their greed - they want expertise and near perfection in the work, but willing to pay only pennies for that kind of quality.
