Have you ever seen 'About Schmidt' with Jack Nicholson? He retires after
32 years working for an insurance company, makes sure all his files are
available, and offers to help if need be. On his way out of the building
he sees boxes of his files being wheeled to a dumpster.

 
Yeah, that's probably more realistic.

I took some time during CoVid telework to purge a ton of old stuff.  I had
some flexibility to go in to do a physical “fire & safety” check of the lab
facility, so I’d have a day solo in the building and would just make a day
of it to go through boxes & reduce them by 10:1.

I'm in a little different situation. The company I work for 'retired'
January 1. The clients were promised a year of support while they find a
new vendor. Most of the staff either left or transferred to the other
division and I said I would be available for the year in case problems
come up that support can't solve.

 
You think you'll be all done and retire, at the end of the year?

Corporate memory is a weird thing in terms of how it pops up, and what
happens the most is that the current team will have some issue and then
someone says “ya know who would know this answer?  Old Joe who retired last
year .. we should just give them a call”…

…and that call is never made.
