Perhaps the company will start selling raffle tickets to win a decent policy. Thank you for all you do!

Fat chance fatso.

They're forcing us to switch benefit companies, up here. Haven't seen how bad it's going to be but when one of the first sentences in the bulletin announcing the switch is "in order to ensure future prosperity for the company", you know it's not going to be good.

Health benefit companies? If you can, please post a photo of this.

So tell us about the size of the death benefit of the life insurance Fat Freddy has on you. Given your irreplaceable value to him (lmao) it has to be at least 5 million.

Shhhhh. The others will get jealous.

First, nobody should care about a benefit being whittled away.

But second, you actually should care and actually should have more of this thing you shouldn’t care about. And as such, you should pay for it out of pocket because the company doesn’t offer as much for zero cost to its employees.

Got it.

It's a loss of $5000 in coverage. To replace that $5000 of coverage yourself costs practically nothing.

I love your don't give a point of view.

@Operational needs, @McFeely, the bold is sarcasm.

I love how people worry over inconsequential stuff. No sarcasm, I think it's interesting.

"They're taking away $5000 that I'll never see because it only gets paid if I die before I quit or get fired. I'm mad."

Don’t have a wake, casket, funeral plot, head stone, embalmment. It’s all a scam that will cost you around 20-30k. Get cremated. Sit on a mantle, or spread in the ocean. Have a quite memorial mass if you’re religious.

No way. They take a hammer and smash your skull and break up your bones. Then you go into a blender.

I’m sure, Dano, that you grasp perfectly what the underlying discontent is. It’s not that buying life insurance is expensive. The reduction symbolizes how the company feels about and regards its employees.

 

[DeliveryException]

Right, because as he said that 5000 is practically nothing. So we are worth less than practically nothing in their eyes it appears.

 

[MassWineGuy]

At least we get to wear the uniform. For now.

I grasp perfectly the effect that this will have on the typical employee: none.

Speaking of "how the company feels about employees," you'll get a kick out of this. What's a big complaint? They won't give raises, but they serve pizza and other food, especially around SFA time and it's insulting. One of the stations in this area didn't serve food (or only served it once, I don't remember) and everyone complained that they don't even get fed anymore.

People!

 

[MassWineGuy]

I think you’re very purposely maintaining a front. Which I’m fine with. And what other reason is there for bringing out the food? Of course, I’ll never say no to free food.
