Don't give away our pension!

[anonymous]

Old timer- forced to take VERP since got life threatening illness and they filled my job. HR lied and covered up that the new hire quit after few weeks.My position was not filled and was told it was. Many years until pension. with $900 a month insurance . Things are not like you think.

What a complete lie! I VERP’d in December 2017. Got my last paycheck on 12/31/17 and my first pension check on 1/1/18. I started work in January 1990 (age 21) and retired at age 49. Maybe your Cobra/retiree health insurance was high but I just transferred my family over to my husband’s work insurance. Every single person who VERP’d in Dec (vs early in Q1 or Q2 of 2018) got their first monthly pension check on 1/1/18 unless they CHOOSE to defer it. I’m now 51 and have gotten my pension check every single month since I left and will until I died. I can’t dip into my 401k for 8 years but my pension comes each month.

That is your situation because you worked at Lilly double the time I did. Pensions are reduced by 6% for every year you are under 65 or not at 80 or 90 points. I would have lost 60% of pension. So i did not take it and am waiting. I had to get the insurance because cancer comes back and there is alot of uncertsibty the first 5 years. So shut the f up . Just because you cannot see past yourself doesn't mean my situation did not occur. You must have sucked as an employee with no common sense.

I worked there for almost 28 years so I was hardly a terrible employee. You were forced out while I left with a hefty severance and monthly pension while my 401k keeps increasing. You have nothing. They knew you were coming back in 3 months (your words) and they STILL didn’t want you. They’d rather lie (again, your words) about hiring a replacement rather than take you back. On my end, they provided me a great career and even paid for my Master’s degree. So….VERP allowed me to retire 2 years and 4 months earlier than planned with my full pension in tact, a severance that was equivalent to about 13 months of regular pay, and a 401k waiting for me with I’m old enough to withdraw. Until then I’m sitting on a great nest egg, not working and using my time to raise my last child full-time (he was only in first grade when I retired). Sit and complain all you want due to your own stupidity and I’ll just chill with my family while getting paid to do it.
