So I started a new job about a month ago. Asked multiple times when the health plan starts. Was told 30 days.
30 days pass. They said sorry it starts March. Your hire date was Jan 3rd, so you won't be enrolled for another 30 days. I asked, why wasn't that brought up to me earlier? We all agreed on my hire date since I gave two weeks and it was the holidays.
They said they wouldn't have had me start during that time anyway. So now my wife and I uninsured for two months. There solution was to convince her to find a better job. (She doesn't have benefits and the employer doesn't contribute to my spouses portion of the plan).
The whole situation is fucked up. My boss (who's middle management) asked me what I was going to do and my reply was hopefully I avoid a major accident or the pandemic as best I can for another 30 days.
Fuck them.
