I’m 63 and have worked in a government job that is well paid, but that has high stress and requires post graduate degree in a science. I am reviewed and rated by my supervisor twice a year, and I have never had a bad review for the quality or quantity of my work (I’ve had many supervisors over the years). In April I got a new boss, and she has begun reviewing all of my work. My previous bosses would review a small random fraction of my work, and never found significant errors. This new boss has found errors in every case I’ve worked on. Most seem legitimate , but some are subjective. If I continue to have errors called, and have poor production, I will go into a process that will end in firing, but it might take at least 6 months. This has caused me a lot of anxiety and has basically made me paralyzed in making decisions I need to make for my job. Therefore I’m not getting the amount of work done that I need to to keep the job. I had thought I would work indefinitely since I used to like my job. My question is should I hang on to the job through the long process of getting fired, or should I just resign to avoid the stress. I would plan to retire either way. Financially I’m ok either way for retirement, although of course I would end with more money the longer I hang on, and would get unemployment if fired. I’m even thinking that I might have a case for age discrimination but not sure since my production and quality of work are now being affected. Any advice?
