My big one is that they need to stop asking why I applied for their company. The real answer is I want a new job, and I blasted out a hundred applications. I didn’t choose your company specifically.

The gap in my employment is NONE OF YOUR GOD DAMN BUSINESS.
It’s none of your fucking business that my kid required major neuro surgery at the age of 8 WEEKS and I needed to take a year off form work to care for him.
You and all the other idiot corporations decided to fuck around with the economy and didn’t hire anyone for several years because YOU fucked it up.
To be more flexible I decided to work a series of contracts instead of full time employment and fuckwits like you treat contractors like trash.
Do you really want me to go on? Because I fucking can…
BTW: The kid is OK and today (19 years later) is an accomplished figure skater that competes internationally.
Congrats on your child killing it at figure skating :)
The other thing businesses do that should be illegal is target “high cost” employees.
Their healthcare insurance provider will provide them a monthly report and if you suddenly start $1 million worth of chemo it shows up in next month’s bill. The insurance provider doesn’t tell them who it is by law, but they DO tell them it’s costing the company a ton and hiking their monthly premiums. in a company of 100 people it’s not hard to figure out who it is…
I’ve heard that.
His birth cost was around $20k with a stay in the NICU the first two days.
He was diagnosed before he even left the hospital. He had visible indications of Spina Biffida Occulta (Tethered Spinal Cord). Exactly 8 weeks after he was born he underwent the surgery. Which took a lot longer than expected because they couldn’t get a good MRI image. So the Neurosurgeon ended up doing exploratory surgery to find how far up the tether went.
Total bill for the surgery and a week long hospital stay was $40k.
Fortunately, my wife works for the same medical foundation that owns the hospital, and she still works there today. Plus they own the insurance company. So we were lucky to have the best health insurance available in our state.
Wow, congrats in the good ending!
