THE STING CONTINUES

Tomorrow is the meeting with the new Health Plan provider and agent where we will have the opportunity to ask questions about the new plan. I don't want to attend the meeting because I'm still seething about the change and I'm afraid my seeth will overflow in the form of some very pointed questions. My stupid coworkers seem to think the change is no big deal because as long as they see the words "Health Plan" at the top of the paperwork they assume that means actual "coverage". I will not be a trouble maker by interperting it for them, but I sure hope some eyes open tomorrow.

Our company's president told me he wanted something that is positive for both the company and employees, and certainly not something that hurts anyone. Well, I don't know how he can think that shifting more costs (which could be considerable) to the employees and downgrading the content of the coverage is something "positive" for employees.

I'm angry that he wants me to swallow his 'spin' and put on a happy face while being screwed over so blatantly. I feel betrayed by the company I work for, and it hurts.

"I feel betrayed..." Rightfully so. Unfortunately this seems to be an up and coming trend for employers nationwide due to our economy (or lack thereof). What annoyed me the first time you mentioned this here, is the spin your employer is putting on this. It's dishonest and insincere. I'm sorry that you have to go through this.
