If i'm honest, it's because they keep moving the goalposts for retirement and pension entitlement.
I HAD hoped to have been able to quit ten years ago.
My job is stressful and exhausting. And i've stuck at it a lot longer than most.
I had planned to quit after 30 years and go and do something that allowed me to use transferable skills but without the 24/7 ,on call, at everyone else's beck and call mentality that exists in my current job.
Add to that these endless periods of boom and bust economic periods that have plagued generation x since we started our working lives and it ensures that many of us will unlikely ever be able to.

I enjoyed my job the years before I retired. Great staff, interesting work, good benefits, suitable pay, 10 minute commute with no traffic

Rampant age discrimination. Within the first few moments after introduction you can tell they dont want you. That's fine, my last employer is trying to steal me away from my current IT job. Neither will keep me for long anyway as I'm retiring in 11 months.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
I have been retired for nearly a decade but on the whole I enjoyed my work, and my colleagues (though I was the lowest-ranking).
IM5688 · 70-79, M
I used to enjoy it, but lately not so much. I guess I'm sticking with it just to give me something to do and a little spending money.
Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M
Stability only. I know I could find less stress and more money elsewhere. Other than that, I really do like the experiences I am getting.
RodneyTrotter1 · 100+, M
Because I enjoy it. I could earn more money by going back to my old job but I'd rather be happy.
Horok · 31-35, M
I think I got a lot of scope for learning and prepare for a bit more for my career.
Also I'm satisfied with my salary.

My job is hard but I do it well, I think. Plus I like my people too much to leave
Lugwho · 61-69, M
It pays quite well, it's relatively easy, and I'm not far off retirement. I've no intention of changing jobs.
FemSteps · 26-30, M
The pay is decent. Conditions are good and it’s flexible when needed.

I can work from home at any time I want to and it's sort of easy money. It's like being paid for playing some sort of a game at times.

It's paying for all of my college tuition and living expenses right now.

I'm a brine taster over at the pickle factory but I'd rather be an olive stuffer.

The money is really good
At my age, it would be difficult to find something else even laterally
