Right; using up your leave time first -- especially if you'll otherwise lose it -- is not uncommon, but most people notify their employers that this is what they're doing.
I just SMH at the fear some people seem to feel, at least where I work, at the prospect of anyone knowing that they're planning to retire. I mean, isn't everyone? Unless you plan to just drop dead at your desk eventually.

Earned Vacation time is paid to you in your last paycheck.
Some Time/days is use it or lose it.
= CarryOver Vacation Days (From last year)
= Floating Holidays
= Comp Days (If you are in a job class that gets them)
= You "Bought" Extra Vacation Days @ Benefit enrollment
= "Blood" days As a instinctive to give blood @ company Blood Drives you earn some time off
= United way Days, If you give to the "UnitedWay Drive" over X% of your pay check you get some time off
So? The pension is earned. If the person has met the service and age requirements, they will receive it when they retire. And no creation of some silly rule to the contrary will prevent that.
That is correct. Once you have vested in a pension plan, the company is legally required to pay you benefits at that point. You can get into shouting matches with several of your coworkers, calling them all sorts of names, you will be fired and you will still receive your pension if you have vested.

I don't dispute the guy in my example deserved his pension. My point is that just because you can do some things in this world, doesn't mean that you should do them. Only a barbarian wouldn't give his organization two weeks notice he was retiring.

What difference does it make? Either way you are gone. And you still get your pension.
"What difference does it make?" A man of integrity and honor will do what is 'right', even when nobody is looking or nobody cares.
.
I wish companies felt that way. They can and will fire employees without remorse and with absolutely no notice at all. In fact, one might say that they themselves have neither honor nor integrity. None at all.
Do whats 'right'? What does that even mean? Whats 'right' for me may not be whats 'right' for you. Guess what - I don't care what you think. Bottom line - I leave. So what?
Loyalty is not what it once was for either a company or an employee. You could give a month's notice for retirement and they might fire you the next day to save a few bucks.
Do what you think is right and look out for yourself. Once you actually do walk out the door the company no longer matters and you're on your own.
