Frog Act posted:yeah the “benefit” is that jts considerably cheaper than if I didn’t have a full time job with benefits, where it would be out of the realm of affordability entirely, but still costs thousands plus a deductible of several hundred bucks and payment at the time of service copays even after meeting that. The real secret of health care is to not have an income.

I didn't think I'd find out any more "America fundamentally sucks in ways I never even imagined and they just categorically fail at even the basic stuff" tid-bits on the forums but there you go.

my job requires me to piss in a cup on a random but rather regular basis, and no I don't get to operate heavy equipment or anything fun like that

that's alot of jobs. Here we don't require all those annual tests but our insurance gives us incentives so if you go get a physical, bunch of tests and an EKG every year they'll write you a check for like $200.

whole foods used to have a whole running theme during their hiring orientation about how they would never ever drug test and about how inclusive they were to alternative lifestyles, basically heavily implying that they were cool about you smoking weed and having piercings and neck tattoos and stuff i wonder if that's still the case now after amazon swallowed them up kinko's used to do something similar, where back in the 90s they were in the top 500 companies to work for because they offered health insurance to "live-in partners" and didn't drug test. ofc now they're owned by fedex so they swept all that stuff away from the old stoner guy that founded them

I had an interview today and they had two health plans, one with a 3k deductible and one with a 4.5k deductible lol. My current deductible is zero. Obviously there are other factors to consider, but since I work for a health care system my current one is pretty good, but this other place is only tangential to one, so it's worse. That's fair ?

I read the wiki page to refresh my memory and here's my favorite partquote:CEO Mackey drew attention to the insurance program (offered through United Health Care in the US) for its employees in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal.[104] In the article he called his company's insurance plan a viable alternative to "Obamacare". Mackey summed up his antipathy toward universal coverage in his op-ed by stating: Yep the declaration of independence definitely doesn't say anything about a right to, idk, life or anything. e: lol quote:Mackey, a libertarian, believes that unions facilitate an adversarial relationship between management and labor. As opposed to what we have now, where I love them dearly like the benevolent master I am Shame Boy has issued a correction as of 20:29 on Jan 27, 2020 |

I applied for a job at whole foods way back in the day and it was the usual scummy stuff. They hired through a shady temp agency only, there were no benefits, extremely low pay, they expect you to have an encyclopedic knowledge of all the rich people stuff they sell even if your job isn't customer facing etc. Sorry but whole foods was never one of the good guys.

Shame Boy posted:To help employees learn about products, the company has instituted a mentoring program and developed an online portal called "Whole Foods Market University" to aid in training. Internal parlance refers to "team leaders" as opposed to "managers" and stores sometimes offer prizes for competing teams. They're called Team Leaders so the real management doesn't have to pay them manager wages

I've wondered if the reason that firearms are prohibited from public displays/gatherings in some states is simply to prevent poors from protecting themselves when demanding their rights. It just crossed my mind when I was thinking about my grandfather, who was a union man, who carried guns on the picket line back in the day.

Ghost Leviathan posted:The thing is about criticising wealthy liberals is that it doesn't matter what language you use because they will use literally anything you say, including outright making poo poo up, to try to discredit you because they don't want you talking about those issues at all. It's a lot like talking about race or gender. Funny, really, because those forms of privilege are totally different from class and would provoke totally different responses in their defense. Obviously.

I have kitchen towels that, judging from the monograms, are over 50 years old and still usable and not even worn. They dont have a holster though. E: 300 washes is like six years. Or less than one year if you only have the one. 3D Megadoodoo has issued a correction as of 00:16 on Jan 28, 2020 |
