Why People Resist Retirement

Research suggests making the decision to retire means grappling with
three psychological issues. First, identity issues can loom large for
any deeply engaged professional. Even a small step away from a career
can make a person wonder who they are without it. Second, many older
professionals resist leaving meaningful work. And third is the dread
of losing the strong relationships that accumulate over the course of
a long, successful career. New research suggests that leaders who
develop an accurate awareness of who they really are and what their
job really demands of them are much better equipped to overcome the
psychological barriers to retirement.

"The essence of antitrust law is to try to keep the system working by
recognizing that, at certain points, some companies may get too big
for their own good, they're self-imploding, or the technology may
become so dominant that it's just crushing all other elements where
there can be innovation." - Judge Leonie Brinkema, 2023, United States
