Hi everyone! My company does not provide maternity or any fertility coverage. (Totally awesome, I know). My husband luckily works for Booz and is potentially accepting an offer to Deloitte. We have been going down the process of IUI. Currently we have really good fertility coverage through Booz but I’m nervous with Deloitte it won’t be as good. Does anyone have any insight into Deloitte’s fertility coverage? I’m hopeful about iui but want to be prepared for the costs of IVF. Thanks all

Everytime someone texts at work, they never say good morning. They just get straight into the topic. In my previous company's culture (in Australia), it's offensive not to ask: "Hello, how are you doing?" before getting into anything work related.
