Typical Krom and his inability to read and understand the written word. The guy has a 22 year career and announces his retirement in 9 months and dumbass writes that he quits. Krom proves again he’s a fucking moron.

So angry at life

In other news Polaris extended its clutch recall into more model years. I guess that is better than a rubber flap

They gave me a brand new clutch. Saved me the rebuild this summer. Love that

after raking in the amount of money he has and reaching a certain age, I'd retire as well.

congratulations to him

let the jealousy flow ladies...

You see dipshit, people who achieved more than a GED and went on to work somewhere besides the parts counter of a pissant dealership have what are called careers. Unlike all the high school kids you worked along side of who quit and went on to do bigger and better things. Responsible adults who have educations and are smart and capable work long enough to retire. That means they get money for not working. 

You’re never going to get there working at a dealership. This is why you don’t know the difference between quitting a job and retiring from a job.

Quitting vs. Resigning

Quitting a job is the same thing as resigning from a job in most cases: either way you have chosen to no longer have that job. Resign is more at home in formal settings, but quit is perfectly acceptable in serious writing as well.

The words tend to enjoy different company: people are more likely to "resign in protest" (when they can no longer stomach the job they're being asked to do, or the bosses they're being asked to do it for), but "quitting in protest" is certainly done as well. Someone is also more likely to "resign in disgrace" (when it's become clear that people no longer trust them to do their job well, especially because of something scandalous), but nothing is stopping them from "quitting in disgrace" either. Again, there is not a great difference between the two not-gonna-bother-with-this-mess-anymore meanings of these words. But, if it makes you feel better, we welcome you to think of resigning as quitting when it puts on a bowtie—it's tidied up and starched, and occasionally a little more formal than it needs to be.

Retiring vs. Abdicating

The meaning of retire we are concerned with here is “to withdraw from one's position or occupation; to conclude one's working or professional career”: you are moving on career-wise. Abdicating is also about moving on career-wise but it's only applicable if that career involves a high position, office, or rank. To abdicate the throne, to use the most common example, is to formally give up any claim to it. In other words, retiring is typically for the commoners, and abdicating likely warrants lots of press coverage.

Indeed. Good idea.

Here’s your own special thread. https://www.freedomsledder.com/index.php?/topic/74993-the-bait-thread/#comment-1871077

Reason #864 that Alaskan is mad at life, student loans for a college degree and has no job and worse yet, still lives in Alaska. We call that a triple threat. Believe that!

Lots of typing in circles, too bad the literal definition of the word quit proves you wrong.

But here is another screen shot proving you're wrong, since your tiny washer fluid soaked brain cell didn't get it the first time.

Typical Krom, that GED prevents him from understanding the meaning from written words.

Read the definition of the word quit, as many times as it takes for your brain cell to grasp.

Both 1, and 3 apply

Keep on digging GED parts boy. People who quit don’t get a gold watch or a nice article written about them. Retirees do.

We all know how stupid you are, but the proof you are wrong is right there in black and white...

He decided he no longer wants to head brp, that is quitting, just like the definition of the word says it is. You're too stupid to understand that, so here it is again with a big red circle,

Poor Krom. Stuck in a dead end job with a GED. No hopes of ever doing anything more. He has no clue that good jobs offer retirement after a certain number of years or you hit a specific age. After you hit those milestones you retire. Try taking a reading comprehension class at your community college. Maybe you’ll finally be able to get a decent job that offers a path towards retirement.

Don't worry about me, I'm all set with plenty of education, employment, and retirement.

Maybe you should worry about yourself, instead of stalking the guys on here. We've established you're too stupid to read the words inside the big red circle.

Keep on digging Krom. Atta boy! Too fucking dumb to know how to use quit versus retired in a sentence.

Retarded is not knowing how to use the correct word for the context. Obviously that is lost on you as you keep repeating yourself. But how would you even know how to write with your General Education for Dipshits (GED) diploma?

This August, I submitted a letter to my department chair, announcing my intention to resign from my position as a history professor. My resignation will become effective May 2022, the end of our university’s academic year.

A day later the dean responded that I should alter one verb in my letter. She advised me to change “resign” to “retire.” If I used the latter, she said, I would be eligible for some retirement benefits that are not offered to employees who simply quit.

Who doesn’t love benefits? I changed my letter as suggested and resubmitted it.

And it has driven me nuts ever since.

What Difference a Word?

“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug,” said Mark Twain. The master was correct. Although “resign” and “retire” appear similar, and in the minds of many seem synonymous, they encode different ideas.

Retire suggests stepping down from a productive life — productive in the sense that we moderns define the word as someone who produces something. If you are gainfully employed, you produce something that your employer values. Retirement releases you from…

Retirement, in popular imagination, is a step into passivity. The retiree stops responding to the morning alarm clock: she plays golf, winters in Arizona, takes art classes, travels. Retirement is the reward for a life of hard work, a vacation that stretches fifty-two weeks a year.

I am describing the idyllic retirement that most people imagine during brutal days at the office. Many will not enjoy freedom and luxury in retirement. As financial planners continue to report, our country’s level of retirement savings is abysmal; failure to save will deny most people the Elysian retirement I have described. A subsistence level job — full or part-time — may extend productive life past the date of one’s retirement.

Look at all the nonsense the monkey will type just to still be wrong 😅
