| Leaves |
| Departs |
| Turns in |
| Withdraws |
| Beds down |
| Falls back |
| Goes to bed |
| Stops using |
| Hits the hay |
| Stops working |
| Heads for bed |
| Superannuates |
| Hits the sack |
| Gives up work |
| Calls it a day |
| Goes on pension |
| Ballet movements |
| Leaves the scene |
| Leaves workforce |
| Adjusts, as laces |
| Calls it a career |
| Collects a pension |
| Gets the batter out |
| Leaves the rat race |
| Goes out of business |
| Becomes superannuated |
| Hangs up one's spikes |
| Puts out, as a batter |
| Goes to the land of Nod |
| Doesn't become superannuated |
| Withdraws from active service |
| What a rocker does after a major bomb, perhaps |
