时态用法疑问
who thought they had finished their careers at 60 or whatever 为定语从句修饰ex-employees. 即那些原本以为自己60岁退休后职业生涯就已经终结的前雇员们。由于thought为过去时，其宾语从句根据时态一致原则用过去完成时。这里指已经退休的人员。

I had thought, I thought, I could have thought...含义有差别...
三种形式并非表示相同的意思。各自在不同的语境中表示不同的意义。即使同一个形式在不同的语境意义也不尽相同。所以你这种提问是无法回答的。你应该给出具体一句话，连同上下文，这样才能正确判断使用哪种形式以及其含义。

请教句子成分
1 seat是及物动词，意为使（宾语）坐下。自己坐下就要要用反身代词作宾语，如 He seated himself on the ground. 他坐到了地上。当坐下的动作发生后，主语就处于动作完成后的状态中，此时用过去分词作表语。He is seated on the ground. 他坐在地上。本句中为过去分词作定语。如果改用不及物动词sit，就要用现在分词sitting...

before使用了过去完成时，主句是否应该也要正确使用过去完成时呢
before引导时间状语从句，逻辑决定了主句的动作发生在从句动作之前。主句的谓语动词通常用一般过去时代替过去完成时。本句中before从句使用过去完成时与主句的时态无关，而是以前面一句话中的一般过去时为参照的。即before从句的谓语动作是早于前面那句话的谓语动作的。
