I absolutely would not feel differently. I don't think it's an outrageous statement at all. I think it's much more outrageous that a 60+ guy, that should have planned better, is now making his 45 year old colleague pay for his incompetence.
I've had as rocky a career as anyone. I've always managed to put enough into a pension scheme to be able to retire at 60. For most of my career 60 has been the retirement age.
I'm saying that I know that there are guys that need to work beyond 60 and there are those that just want to cling on to the job for whatever reason. I'm disappointed by how many there are and how few are willing to just gracefully retire under the current circumstances. By my count, it's about 80% that cling on.
