How long are terms of office? 2 years? At that rate, you'd need to
stage a re-election to get to the 3 year mark.

I worked in an environment with pensions, and unlike your example,
there was a sliding scale with a 5-year floor. People spent entire
careers trying to keep their heads down and not make waves in order to
retire with as much of a pension as possible. Not much of a career in
the process, unfortunately.
