Why are some leaders lonely after retirement, but not as good as retired workers with food, drink and friends?

As a leader, why is life not as good as that of retired workers after retirement?

Let me share an example with you:

My aunt's father-in-law is a retired leader. I once asked him a question: You used to be such a leader, why do you feel so "down and out" now? I think you stay at home all day, holding a pile of books every day, playing mobile phone to fight landlords, and having no social interaction. I don't think other retired people are playing around, eating and drinking everywhere.

He replied to me: I have been a leader all my life and I am used to being alone. Didn't I use to be alone? The scenery in the past was limited to work. As a leader, I am very valuable to them. When they get promoted and need to solve various problems, they need my help. At that time, a lot of people really approached me.

It's different now. After retirement, I will no longer serve, have no real power, and do not need to be like in the past.

I have a bad temper myself. I yelled at many subordinates when I was a leader, so I didn't make many sincere colleagues in the workplace. And to be honest, there is a natural gap between leaders and subordinates. As a leader, you don't want to get too close to them, so you didn't give them many opportunities to contact me. This natural relationship is strange.

Ordinary employees are different. They have no distance from each other and work together. They help each other in their private work. Their relationship will naturally be iron. After retirement, there will be more opportunities to get together.

Judging from the above cases, why do leaders live lonely after retirement?

The reason for this is the following：

1. As a leader, I began to be a loner in the workplace. In the workplace, a person eats, a person activities, except activities that need to be organized. This also makes it impossible for leaders to make many friends.

2. Let employees have a sense of distance. Now many company leaders will have independent companies. The leader is sitting in an independent company, busy alone, and rarely contacts with everyone. In addition, employees will not knock on the leader's door unless something happens. After work, everyone goes home and doesn't help each other at work. Naturally, there is a sense of distance.

3. Guide yourself to avoid suspicion. In addition, leaders themselves will avoid suspicion. The workplace relationship is complex, and leaders who get too close to any subordinates will cause discussion from other subordinates. Instead, let's keep our distance.

Summary:

In different positions, there are naturally advantages and disadvantages. It's difficult to be a leader and have many friends. But in any case, it would be nice to live comfortably after retirement. Just like my aunt's father-in-law, life is not brilliant and I don't care about other people's voices.
