Can someone explain me how pensions work? Isn’t that some sort of 401k that is tied to the company and you lose access to when you switch companies?

a pension ensures trust between employee and employer.

I believe if you leave, you lose it.

if they fire you without an acceptable reason, they lose it.

the longer you work there the harder it is to fire you without it hitting the company.

Sounds like a raw deal. It’s nice to have severance package but the price is losing your pension if you leave… not worth it. Companies change, get shitty, and then you’d be stuck with it.

and that's one of the handful of reasons why most people don't complain about them being gone.

on the other side, when your company gets shitty, get petty.

make them fire you for some dumbass reason. get the payout, and move on.

Yep there's so many ways to get someone to quit
