He's a federal employee. He's over 57 the retirement minimum age. Why is he still working? I deal with a lot of these type people over 57 in the federal government, still working, still a pain in the ass, pushing an agenda as a senior civilian or often also retired colonel or GO. Why will they not just go away and collect their handsome pension? I know one thing I'd retire immediately upon eligibility with no rounding error, 57.00000000000 years old.
