It's not deceptive if they really "are" retiring. I probably plan on mentioning that I'm retiring when the time "does" come because:
1). I don't want people trying to look me up wondering if I'm still around or not.
2). There are many people who've told me they "want" to know when I retire.
3). There are probably many more who probably "want" to know but haven't told me yet.
4). And those who've been wanting to meet but just need a slight reminder that they need to move me near the top of their playlist if they've ever want to meet or their Tia fantasy will be gone gone gone.
I am frustrated myself about the ones who mention they are gone and then come back again right away and continually.
But you need to keep this in mind that not all of them are using the RETIRING idea just for profit.
Some DO retire and intend on staying retired but:
A). It's hard to get a job in the civilian world that pays bills when you don't have any education.
B). It's hard to get a job in the civilian world "period" and thus they need to come back to make ends meet.
C). They wanted to retire their previous persona and thus they needed to make a formal announcement so that no one would keep asking where they are. They then come back under a new name.
Just keep in mind that if I "DO" retire myself...and I end up coming back, it's probably going to be for reasons A & B. Not because I wanted to deceive anyone with marketing tactics.
