An Extra 5 Years of Work

I didn't make the deadline. I had retirement money from my old job that I was promised would stay there, and then they all of a sudden stopped paying to keep it there. They had a letter postmarked the end of January that I didn't get until February 19th. I didn't get the distribution forms to move the money into another retirement account until February 28th. I filled it out and faxed it to the retirement administrators at my old work and called and called and called on that day to make sure they do their side of it and fax it to the bank. I never got anyone, and the supervisor sent me to voice mail hell.

Now I learn nobody did shit and my retirement money is coming back to me. Less 30% in taxes and penalties because I'm not retiring. 30% of my money gone in a sanctioned theft due to negligence.

It's only $3500, which is something I obviously want to keep. But I've lost over $1000 and in order to recoup that I'll need to pay a lawyer more than that so there's no point.

Fuck you, bitches.
