Now in Hard Kill, we get the following exchange:
**** 
Texas Battle's** Nick Fox - Oh, man, Maggie wanted me out of the game while I still had all my limbs. 
Jesse Metcalfe's Derrick Miller - Wives. 
Fox - Yeah, tell me about it. She made me sell my soul for a fancy [pause] 401(k).
****
[SPOILER ALERT - the following may give away key elements of the movie; read no further if you may see it but thus far haven't] 
So then later, after our heros survive, we get a bit more of a welfare/pension employee-benefits vibe: 
**** 
Miller - You OK?
 . . . 
Natalie Eva Marie's Sasha Zindel - [F] you.  I've got a helluva workman's comp. claim.
Fox - So what now? 
Miller - Retirement sounds pretty [f]ing good right about now. 
****
Now Bruce's got me waiting for "Die 401(k)ill".  I'll be patient.

* I hope y'all got to see his awesome self-effacing turn in The Good Place (which, just to say it, might have the cleverest writing in the history of television). 
** I'll take it on faith that Texas Battle is not named for the California v. Texas kerfuffle surrounding Obamacare.
