I wish I could get a job that kept giving me perks after I’d left/been sacked

I don't know what they get, and I'm sure I'd be upset if I did know so I'm not looking it up.

With that said, a job like Prime Minister is a role you work your whole life for (not the current PM, but a normal one) and then you get 3, 6 years, maybe 9 in the role then you are out forever. Your career is over. The only way to keep having a job is to go be a consultant or give some talks. If you're left wing maybe you can do a Helen Clark or Jacinda Ardern and get paid to work towards a better world. If you're right wing you've already given up that path so all you can do is go work for one of your lobbyists.

I guess the idea is to give politicians an alternative to selling out?
