Thanks a lot, work, for cancelling our benefits. Right in the middle of my expensive dental procedures too. Thank you so, much. I really really love it and am happy to pay probably $2400 dollars out of my own pocket to complete these dental procedures that would have cost me about $800 or so when we had benefits. But you cancelled them. So, thank you so much for that. I love you.
At least you pay us really well though. Especially after being there so very long. Except, oh wait, you don’t pay us well. At all. And seem to even be pulling some sort of constructive dismissal bullshit so that you can replace us with people who won’t mind working for minimum wage with no benefits. Silly me. So easily confused.
But at least you are on top of fixing all the busted equipment. The broken steel door that can swing off its hinges randomly and smash you in the wherever. And the ice machine that has been broken on and off for the last year, cus who doesn’t like warm flat pop? And the sifter, and the drawer handles too. Thanks for fixing all of that stuff that has been brought to your attention time and time again over the last couple of years. Wait, I think I’m confused again. Life can be so confusing when you are blinded by love and really happy feelings brought on be the obvious care of a loving company. —Your Loving Employees

Find. Another. Job.
this is the other side of the coin im not a fan of unions but this is a situation where they could do some good.
Ain’t nonunion work places the absolute best ?
Did you know the NS workers rights (Labor Standards)is the most out dated backward document in all of Canada…should make all you union haters really proud to know that your elected reps hate you more than you hate Unions, And they are doing nothing to change it.
Wow, i agree with More-on on this.
At least unionized work environments don’t have to worry about their benefits snatched away just ’cause.
sifter?
this like a bakery or something perhaps?
you don’t need nice teeth to work in a bakery…
I’ve never stayed at a job I’ve hated. Get some training, stop acting like the world owes you a good living. If you can be replaced by people who are willing to work for shit, it’s time you make yourself more valuable to potential employers.
What Tommy said.
Get out of there OP and don’t let the wonky steel door hit you on the way out!
most normal people have to, why not you. they don’t have all the perks that you seem to have had.
hey now. i posted this in the love to love you baby section. it was sincere. i love spending money that i might waste on savings or like, education, on my teeth.
i also love the argument that because most people have to do something that i should. cus that makes it right.
maybe i should start praying to that invisible wizard that made us out of dirt 6000 years ago. lots of people seem to have to do that too, so, must be right.
i guess it’s also a good thing when jobs get shipped over to china for the chinese children. all the big companies seem to have to do that, so, must be right.
but i get it. i get it. look for a new job. i get it.
i would think, just guessing that they wouldnt term the benefits without any sort of notice…since i work in that industry, i cant see them giving you the heads up on that..
If this place is doing your head in, get out, or you will have more trouble then just your teeth. Sounds like this place is in trouble, going but all you described, dust off the resume and get to lookin’
Not saying it’s a good thing, just a thing you have to deal with, someguy. Major corporations aren’t going to stop making decisions that increase their profits at the average joe’s expense any time soon, we all have to deal with that.
Your dental woes are not the employers problems ,,,, hell, they hired you with that mess in your mouth …. not having a dental plan is no excuse to not have oral care.
People will take their car in for a check-up but fawk if they will visit the doctor/dentist/optometrist on a regular basis ………. IT’S YOUR BODY!
omg… people do prioritize don’t they!
Sucks to be you OP, but regarding the whole “benefits cancellation” deal you should look it up. It should be possible to continue an existing plan when it gets dropped by paying the insurance company yourself. An example would be a new-retiree taking over the health/dental plan previously covered by his company while employed and just paying for it himself.
