Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Forgot about vacation time. good thing to remember. Also don't forget to save $ to pay taxes in April, unless they will deduct it for you (some do, some dont).

 

This.

Mine (Tek Systems) did deduct taxes, so that was something I didn't have to worry about.
The basic list of things to consider are: insurance, vacation, sick days, retirement, stock options, ???

At this point, pretty much every employer is at-will, and they can get rid of you if you're an employee, just about as easy as they could if you were a contractor, so the whole concept of job-security isn't as big of a deal as most would think.

 

The whole State of California is an “At Will” work code. A great way to undermine Unions...

 

Not sure if this has been posted here previously, but here it is...I am going to register for it

Agree, I used to commute from Manteca to south San Jose hour and 45 mins one way. Did this for ten years it sucked dick, now my commute is 25mins one way. So much better, I feel like I have a life again. I would do it if I were you. Just remember you can never get the time back that you are wasting away in the vehicle.

 

Nice, I work for Blue Shield as well.

 

Ah Older women.
They don’t smell they never tell and they’re horny as hell!





So I’ve heard

 

Your insurance sucks...haha. We switched to BS and apparently standard ultra sounds for pregnancy aren’t covered like other carriers we’ve used. Between my daughters surgery and pregnancy we will be hitting our OOP family deductible. Time for that penis enlargement I’ve always dreamed about.

 

7:30 - 5:00?

wow. The cram I went to started at 9am, and we took the test at 1pm.

 

I feel your pain there. I worked in an office with about 150 employees 5 of which were guys and only one that I got along with. Then switched jobs to do on-site work in SF which eventually transitioned to working from home. Sometimes I miss working with other people, but not often. Sure don't miss that commute though.

 

According to the form they sent in email, it says test will start at 1pm. So, I am assuming 7:30 to 1 will be the class and then test at 1.

 

10 years! That's a crazy commute for that long! You're tough as nails!

Ever been to the Blue Shield in El Dorado Hills? I worked at the cafe there for 6 weeks. That place sucked...the building and employees were cool. The cafe sucked.

Is it anything like this?

Yep, been to the El Dorado Hills site a few times. I've been to the cafe once and was not impressed, but what does my opinion matter. I wasn't working in the cafe just a patron.

 

A bit of that, but also...

That's about what I thought too. Luckily I was only there for a short period of time. I was asked if I wanted to relocate and manage it...I said no thanks!

 

Honestly, most insurances suck, don't blame me I just work there.

 

Haha yeah, we used to only pay for 2 dependents then free for the rest. That was awesome, now 1/4 my paycheck goes to insurance right away. It’s crazy how it all works.

 

What do you do within Blue shield? What office you based out of?

 

You could have a cardiac or lung condition condition and still have a handicapped plate/card.

 

I should get one. everybody always tells me how stupid I am
