Announcement · 4:12pm April 22nd
Early this month, they announced that the background departments where I worked were to be outsourced. They said that they couldn't provide for us anymore. We all know what this is. They just want to save money.
Our options were limited. Either stay with this new company or transfer. I waited to see what this new company was during the meet and greet and when I asked about the insurance, since that is something to always consider, four people there and not one knew anything about the medical insurance. Major red flags there so I went and started to apply for a transfer. The new company was supposed to be taking over today.
So what I did was that Saturday was my last day there and I have an interview Wednesday with the company in another building. I know my wife was annoyed that I quit, but I told her that it was either this or sign on with new company while I try and still go for the transfer, but instead it would be as a new employee again, which also means starting over on pay and everything else.
I did what I had to do. It was either this or be screwed over by the new company.
I think you did the right thing. A lot of people don't realize how important medical insurance is when you're older, or how it can help when accidents DO happen. Sure, not all of them offer that much coverage, but hey, it's better than nothing. Even if it's minimal, having any kind of coverage just in case is better than going in unprepared, y'know? Anyway, I'm sure things will work out.
Starting over is always a good start for an epic comeback. A little too optimistic, I know, but then again, I've always been a "Glass Half Full" kinda guy. Focusing on the negatives too much not only draws time away from finding alternative solutions, but correct me if I'm wrong, it also makes it feel like it's harder to enjoy things. I'm sure things will work out in the end. Just focus on what's on docket for now, which is doing your best at the interview. Good luck!
