Obama Doesn't Want Old Timers To Retire

President Obama doesn't want to say goodbye to older feds who are ready to retire. His 2013 budget includes a plan to let them work part time and receive an annuity part time. The Federal Times reports, the White House sees this as a way to pass on knowledge from one generation of feds to another. It could also ease the pressure on agencies to hire temps to fill critical skills gaps. Retirees come back to the government to work part time now, but they get their full pensions and can only work for a limited period of time.
