A lot of companies have gone to very high deductible plans. The cost of insurance is skyrocketing.
Its basically catastrophic insurance.
You shell out $1400/month for a family and still have to pay the first $6000 out of pocket.
Oh, but well care is "free."
I wish we could go back to how it was a few decades ago where you had "hospitalization" insurance. When you got a physical or had a bad cold you went to your doctor and paid him. Then you went to Peoples drug store and paid for you prescription. If you had a baby or fell off a roof, your hospitalization kicked in. Honestly I don't know how we got away from that type of system.
Private sector: 9 years without a raise.
Go back and read my post about applications. I've applied many many times and have been well qualified and even over qualified but the hiring system isn't exactly what you're making it out to be. If it was a system based on open competition and merit then some of the people filling the seats would be out on their asses for extreme lack of efficiency. The tenured and non-competitive nature of government jobs make them worth far more than the salary and benefits alone. That same tenured status also makes them magnets for those who just want to park their asses until retirement. If you're not pushing the system to higher efficiency then you're helping propagate by inaction the very stereotype that you're taking offense at. So yes you should be concerned about the schmuck in the next cubicle who slacks off all day because it reflects on you since you're part of the same team.
My disdain is for waste, corruption, and fraud no matter the source.So we at least know where your disdain is. You weren't hired.
Your uncle says that he is going to pay you $100 to sit in a chair. When he pays you, he tells you that you have to give him $25 and you get $75. It was your uncles money to begin with so in reality, he only paid you $75 to sit in the chair.
The neighbor says that she will pay you $100 to build her a dog house. When you are finished, she tells you that she has to give your uncle $25 of the $100 that she was going to pay you because your uncle is a big brute and intimidates her.
Do government employees really pay taxes or is their uncle only paying them the $75?
Just some food for thought.
Yeah. What a scam. The salary says $110k but it's really $68k Gotcha. So, who is getting my $42k? People in the private sector?
From what I got....apparently your uncles neighbors getting it.
