Boss Relies on Me Heavily - Should I Retire With Zero Notice? 😰

Hey everyone, I'm in a really tough spot and could use your honest opinions. 💭 I've been working as an executive assistant for 22 years, and my current boss is absolutely amazing - we have such a great working relationship after dealing with two nightmare bosses before him. I was planning to retire in a few months anyway. 📅 Then three weeks ago, I developed severe back issues and literally cannot walk properly. My doctor says I'd need to work part-time with an unpredictable schedule, which would be a nightmare with all the HR red tape. 😫 HR told me I can retire immediately, and honestly, the thought makes me feel so relieved. But I feel absolutely terrible about leaving my boss hanging with zero notice during our busiest season. 😔 Part of me says I need to prioritize my health, but another part feels like I'm betraying someone who's been nothing but good to me. What would you do in my situation? Am I being selfish? 🤷‍♀️ #retirement #workplacedilemma #careeradvice #JobCareer
