I am considering quitting my job. Due to some specific circumstances, I would need to get some short term insurance through COBRA. (Can't use the gov't marketplace to get the benefits I'd get from using my current employer provided health insurance – trust me on this). So I'd have to talk to HR to figure out what my out of pocket cost for continuing with my current company provided insurance would be. I'm worried that once I let that out of the bag, HR will go straight to management and tell them I'm asking about COBRA, effectively informing mgt that I'm going to quit (though, honestly, I'm not sure I'll be quitting yet). So… can I get this information directly from the insurance company? Or are there regulations, such as HIPPA, that prevent HR from disclosing my questions to management? Since I am not certain I'll be quitting, but if…

The jist of it is this: They are being asked to do extra job responsibilities they are not paid to do They did not get and aren’t getting the bonus they were promised during the beginning of the pandemic In response, Durham paid a private trash pickup instead (GFL) to pick up trash this week, likely at the last minute Not all residents receive trash pickup services (me included), so I know from my own bill that those services cost $90-$100 per quarter per household Recycling pickup is tomorrow, still unresolved the city of Durham has a budget surplus, and we already don’t have consistent policing, EMS response, and the access to health care, and guaranteed police work including detectives (however you feel about the cops – and I agree with you – it’s still worth pointing out) The UE150 North Carolina Public Workers union is documenting it all including…
When I was in high school I worked for a grocery store that required black dress pants/white dress shirt/dress shoes and a tie. No matter your position or the weather. It was ridiculous to be hauling stuff in and all while wearing a tie.

Micromanager Advice
I have worked for a large insurance company for the past 3 years. We got a new manager who also manages a second team. The day she started she changed every aspect of our daily work & has made my life miserable. To start, to log our time we no longer can just put 8 hours as I have been doing for 3 years. She states it’s for HR purposes & we need to clock in & out. Whatever, not a big deal just annoying. When we are on lunch or breaks we need to set our Teams status with the times we went on break & the time we are coming back. We need to keep track of our production throughout the day & at the end of the day she has an Excel sheet that we input our productivity into & have to mark yes or no to…

Prepaid Card
Had a job that wasn’t working out super well (cutting my hours, nasty customers, otherwise stressful environment) so I got a new job and quit the old one. They gave me my last paycheck on a prepaid card but the card company won’t unlock the card. Customer service for the card company is completely automated so I can’t get in touch with an actual person to help me. This last paycheck isn’t big enough to make or break my finances but it’s money that could go towards groceries and bills. My ex manager can’t help me and HR for the company isn’t much help either. I’m just so pissed off.
My fiancee just got a job with the USGS, started about two weeks ago. So far it's been fine, but he said something to me that really raised my eyebrows. According to him, some of his coworkers told him that instead of being paid for the overtime they do, those extra hours get “saved” and then “they can use them later”. When I asked what the hell that even meant, he said they would use those overtime hours as some sort of PTO to leave work early on some days. Now I'm not board with any of this. It sounds completely sketchy, I've never heard of anyone doing this. And at a gov job?? It doesn't seem like he wants to argue about this (we have to move for this job and finding an affordable place has been stressful so i get it) but should I keep pushing him to…
