It’s November at Corporate Behemoth, and you know what that means.
Yes. It’s time to re-enroll in health benefits.
Corporate Behemoth changed a bunch of stuff around this year, so even the folks who are willing to shell out big bucks for big coverage are sort of screwed. None of us know which anorexic little plan to choose.
One of the number crunchers in my department actually created a comparison Excel spreadsheet to help us all decide. It’s the clearest bit of info we have in our oh-Jeeeezus-please-may-we-not-actually-need-insurance-because-I’m-not-sure-I’m-picking-the-right-thing arsenal.
Today, I overheard a 45-minute conversation between three dads on my team, all trying to decide how best to protect their families. I wonder if Corporate Behemoth realizes what their attempts at saving money actually do to staff morale and productivity.
I’m worried that no one at Corporate Behemoth has the expertise to make these decisions. This concern is based on two things:
1. All of the colorful “Hey! Let’s talk about health care!” info HR provided is actually written in a combination of Sanskrit and Serbo-Croatian.
2. One of my coworkers recently posed this question about our product’s online content: “So, does all of the content reside in one big suppository?”
