My current job, no.

All of my previous ones, yes.

However, with the money we get paid, if you find yourself destitute in your old age then thats really on you.

If you work a government job and retire you get a pension plus you have the option to put money into a TSP which is basically a 401k

That's what the the government version of the 401k is called. It's pretty much the same thing.

With a pension, aren't you kinda "locked" in to the job in a sense?

In a way. You're not forbidden from leaving; you're just giving up a gig that really hurts to lose.

We get 6% match on our 401k then they throw 4% into our retirement whether we put anything into it or not. They dont call it a pension but I guess thats what it is?
