He was sixty-four, healthy, and bored in a way he hadn&rsquo;t expected. He&rsquo;d spent thirty-one years in supply chain management at a manufacturer in Green Bay, done everything right, and arrived at retirement with $680,000 in a 401(k), a pension paying $1,840 a month, and Social Security he&rsquo;d started collecting at sixty-three.</p> <p>He&rsquo;d built a deck. Painted two rooms. Started watching television in the afternoons, which bothered him considerably. A hardware store two miles from his house had posted for a part-time assistant manager. Thirty hours a week, roughly $34,000 a year. He&rsquo;d worked in a hardware store as a teenager. He liked the work, liked the people, and called me to say he was taking the job.</p>
