angry about both and got shut out when I applied at the MBTA in the 90’s and the job literally went to a friend of mine who’s last name rhymes with Bulger (remember Whitey’s brother Billy was the Senate President at that point)… this guy is his nephew. I’m still his friend but it was an inside thing… also I’ve been with the same company for 26 years… my pension is fully vested but it’s at 60% of my 3 top years. This seems pretty standard for folks that are able to still get pensions from their workplace. I also agree with the separate point (in my mind) that all companies should provide a pension, but this isn’t even what I’m talking about totally just one part that popped into my head about money being spent that should have been negotiated differently. I also don’t begrudge the people that got the sweet deal while it was available… it isn’t available anymore, but the money must still be paid to those that earned it in the 90’s.
