Last May, Mike Ungar, 62, happily headed off to retirement. After 35 years working in management for tire manufacturer Michelin North America, Ungar, of Simpsonville, S.C., was looking forward to volunteer work and spending more time with his then 2-year-old grandson.

“People often say you should retire to something, not from something,” says Ungar.

But despite those best-laid plans, Ungar’s retirement only lasted about a month. At the end of June, he spied an opportunity on Michelin’s retiree site that he couldn’t pass up: a six-month project developing and conducting unconscious bias training, following the George Floyd killing and Black Lives Matter protests.
