It's not as black and white as having a shitty vs fulfilling job. Many (most?) retirees are coming from ok jobs and are conflicted but positive about retiring, seeing it as a transition to antother phase of life. The workaholic is a special type of person. Edit: to add, I do understand how it's important for people to feel useful, and I agree it's a good idea to stay active after retirement.
