2 were self employed, running their own businesses, one was fucking fishing, and one "cuts fabric" part time.

Show me a corporate desk slave that a) lives that long, b) works that long and c) doesn't resent their entire existence, and I might buy into this obvious fucking farcical corporate propaganda piece.

Fuck you, eat the rich.

Counterpoint: my nan is 104 and hasn’t done a day of work since she was a Land Girl during the second world war.

That’s cool

Hopefully one day they can do it for a cause beyond filling the coffers of the rich through exploitative work. (And also never feel obligated to work past retirement should they wish to stop)

While it is dystopian that many people have to end up working beyond retirement age, I can see why some people choose to take on a "retirement job".

Our jobs are what we do for the majority of our time, for better or worse, so once you retire there's suddenly a purposeless void where work used to be. To keep your mind going and your body moving, you need to fill that void with things you want to do - but for a lot of people it's hard to do that sustainably, so after a few years they need something else, and for some people that's a "retirement job".

It’s for worse for sure. What if people didn’t have to worry in their 30s, 40s, and 50s about sustaining their livelihood in late stage capitalism and could instead focus on what makes them happy? I bet “retirement jobs” would look a lot different.

Yeah there’s nothing wrong with people choosing to work out of boredom. The issue is when they have to, like you said.

Choosing to work because you’re bored and depressed is just a paid hobby

The premium capitalist health insurance plan- extend your lifespan through mindless servitude.

That’s clearly how our hunter-gatherer bodies and minds were supposed to work.
