Time to retire?

Today is my bosses birthday. Technically, he is not really my boss, but plays a team leader type of role in my team and shields us from a lot of heat. He turns 55 today, which is also legal retirement age.

He seems to think he is dispensable but he has a great deal of historical knowledge. He is also a great trainer and backed me moving into this role so I am eternally grateful. He is getting increasingly frustrated with the politics in the company and is planning an exit strategy.

Realistically, he wants to be made redundant and probably won't retire. Redundancy would probably be difficult as there are others who have a lot of respect for him also. He seems to undervalue his worth and whilst he deserves a payout, it probably wouldn't be in the company's best interests. ONly time will tell the future.
