they usually have like a 90 day to 1 year "probation" period before you are unfireable.

nice. i am not sure what pension I get if any, I chose a 403b acct when i started my benefits. Took 5 yrs to be vested in the state and I didnt think I would be here this long. I will also get a few bucks from ups, they bought out my pt pension but not my ft pension.

Mines actualy doing well. I sat down with a rep 2 yrs ago just as the economy was going in the shitter. We actualy invested more agressively at the time. Took a little hit at the time but have gotten sick returns the last 3 quarters, and am off to a good start on this one.

I want to talk to them again to see if I should reallocate some funds again and be more conservative or stay the course.

I'm still invested sorta aggressive...from when I first started it 5 years ago. Had a decent chunk of change in there before the tank. Now it's getting back to where it was.

Yeah I'm the same, everything I have is in aggressive funds. I might be almost 40 but I look at it as I still have 25+ years to work. My stuff isn't quit back to where it was a few years ago but it's getting there.
