Was speaking with someone in another industry, and they said it’s standard when they change jobs that the new company covers the cost of Cobra for the gap in insurance coverage (separate from any signing bonus). Was shocked we don’t. I never thought to ask for this. Seems like something we could make SOP if we all start asking for it like we expect it.

I never questioned it. Now I know they can cover the gap, they just choose not to.

Wtf. What industry are they in?

I think you may be right.

The part that struck me wasn’t why they would be an exception, but how EASY it is for companies to implement as standard in the onboarding. Meanwhile, we accept it being on us, when there is no good reason for it.

Would prefer the broader US healthcare system be fixed, but in the meantime this is one less way the cost gets put on individuals as opposed to corporations.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
