Yeap no more free pizza. Instead ill have benefits like medical and dental lol

 

I just left one job because it's boring. Moving on to a new line of work Monday. The turn the wrench is there, but it's different. And the weird thing...everyone was happy to be at work when I went there. Never worked at a place like that.

 

Even at your age, you NEED to have coverage. Ya never know when you'll need it. Aren't you in HVAC?

 

right? that is the true unicorn right there. ppl happy to be at work. lol. good luck to you as well sir.

 

Didn't work for me either..but I can swim to save my ass..doggie paddle for the win.

 

Here in CA that's as good as gold...seriously. I'm sure now it probably doesn't matter since you're able to be on your parent's plan until your 26, but after that it becomes a huge monthly expense if you don't have it through a company. I was still freelancing when Obamacare went into effect and even with the "cheaper" plans it was still a big hit...having it subsidized (or paid in full) by your employer is awesome.

 

Thanks man. On a Monday morning no less..figure it must be a good gig.

 

Yeah im going to hvac. So ill get good benefits

 

wow. I still remember those days. Back when I was like 20 something... medical, dental - all paid by the company. No payroll deductions at all. Sure miss those days.

 

Dude, for my wife and kids on my medical was a whole check. My buddy pays 2k a month, lives in a dump apartment. Just for medical.and gets screwed every year on taxes because of it.

 

Oh btw Sunday my last day at the restaurant, then I’ll probably have a week off before i start somewhere else. If you want help working on your truck

 

when you get some experience under your belt, I'll pay you cash to relocate the damn media cabinet for my filter. what I get for paying a friend of a friend to put in a new furnace and install Air. When i go to change the filter I have to mangle it because the pipes are in the way.

 

Plant maintenance at a food place..man, the president of the company invited my family to his house for a barbeque..lol. It's weird bro. Most of my past bosses just put up with me cause I made money and shit ran smooth when I was around.

 

I'm not quite that lucky lol. My employer pays a portion of it but the rest comes out of my paycheck every month...about $80/month for a decent HMO so I can't complain too much. When I was self employed I was paying $110 a month for a base level, crappy HMO plan through Obamacare

I don't get vision though which kind of sucks, but Costco members can see their optometrist for $90 or something like that so I just go there once a year for my contact prescription

 

Plant? Like a facility or like a actual plant?

 

Facility. Ever hear of casa Sanchez? I'm the new maintenance guy. All the food I can eat..lol

 

That's terrible. Yeah the healthcare system here is fucked no matter who you are unless you're filthy rich or work for the government lol.

 

Nope, where is it located?

 

Get a prescription and zenni optical. What I do.

 

Yup, government jobs pay shit for most positions but the benefits are fantastic, which kind of makes up for it but not entirely.

Unless you're a federal government official of some kind, then you've got it made
