Jumped from a toxic job to a new one, and was excited to start, especially talking about paid benefits and how I told the CEO I had coverage for me and my spouse through my last job. They had plans to start getting the things together at the start of 2023, but I knew it was going to be awhile so I was okay without having insurance immediate if I knew it was on the way. Come to find out this morning it’s rolling out on the first of the year and I’m excited to have coverage again!
… Until they unveiled the “paid” benefits.
I made it abundantly clear my last job had coverage basically in full(healthcare, vision, dental) from my last job and I honestly should have noticed the bit where they were a little ambiguous about it, now I’m staring at 1300 every 2 paychecks and the company covers a whopping 300 dollars. So now that I took lateral pay at a new job and am essentially out a grand every month, I have effectively taken a pay cut.
As toxic as it was, I guess going back to my previous job would at least help me cover my bills better than a new venture with my now current company.
