This is one thing I sure don't miss. I've got 3 retired veterans working for me, avg about 60 years old. They move slow. They work slow. They chat a bit much.
But I'll take those 100 times over before a brat. I don't hear the whining. I don't hear every week how they deserve a raise. I don't hear the drama. Two are married to their wives of 3+decades, the third is married to 2nd wife for over a decade. So no 'significant other' baloney. No 'baby daddy' stuff. No showing up drunk. No excuses for not showing up for work: if they want to take a day off they tell me & that's that (note zero paid vacation time, it's all part-time work). No liberal babble from anyone.
