A lot of people are carrying the load for other people. When I was still working, I wasn't just burning the candle at both ends, I broke it in half so that I could double my output. I retired at 62, and am pretty sure that if I had waited to 65, I wouldn't have made it. It was about 1.5 years before I recovered some sense of well-being (now I'm 69). There were 3 people doing what I used to do, after I retired.
That’s management for you - why lay out pay and benefits for two people when your can save money by working one person like a dray horse?
