I’m technically not losing my insurance - my employer just isn’t covering their part of it, which is almost all of it. I pay $94 a month pre tax, they pay $500 per month or so. I’d be on the hook for $600 a month. On top of the salary reduction, canceled stipend, and no retirement match.

Yikes
This is a snap judgement, but I agree that I don’t think you can be added to mrs DG’s insurance because you aren’t losing your coverage. The price of it just doubled. It’s worth a call to see. Maybe a price jump in premium cost is a life changing event…?

New PM on our project didn't schedule recurring meetings after our kickoff, which was a month ago, until this week. He chose Friday afternoons. Declined, reminded him about our policy against Friday afternoon meetings. I assume it'll take him another month to get this rescheduled.
PMs are the **** worst.

Friday before a three (or four) day weekend and I'm the only one in the office.
This wouldn't be a big deal normally except our official reopening is on Tuesday. I figured there would be a few people scrambling around. At the very least I figured there would be a few people putting their office back together, since a good number of them took their monitors, docks, etc. home.
Which means Tuesday will probably a shtshow for me.

This is correct, unfortunately. My employer not contributing to my insurance premium isn’t a “special eligibility event” like loss of a job, divorce, death of the spouse, marriage, etc.Yikes

I was out of town last week, and forgot that my employer was closed Friday and Monday, so the announcement was made a few hours before a four day weekend. Of course, that left people stewing about it all weekend.
I found out one of my staff emailed HR after the meeting for clarification on the insurance stuff, but HR was completely blindsided by the announcements and had no additional information to share. Totally normal, I'm sure.
I did some adding up, and if what they are proposing actually happens, I'll be taking a 28% paycut (which includes paying out of pocket for health insurance and loss of adjunct stipend). It doesn't include loss of retirement match, which was 3.5%.

Tuesday has become the new Monday. The day is mostly booked with meetings, and people are always trying to shoe horn in more meetings in the small time slots I have between. I'm fine with keeping Fridays pure and holy from meetings, but any other day is up for grabs, find another time slot.

Does anyone on the board have a medical Marijuana card?
I'm curious how your employers handle it regarding drug testing?

Get out of there, but in the meantime you may be able to qualify for your wife's insurance under extenuating circumstances. I'd look into the process of eligibility appeals. They may tell you "extenuating exschmenuating" but they may not. Worth a try.

Yes, but I do not work for a company that drug tests corporate staff.Does anyone on the board have a medical Marijuana card?

That said, we did recently hire someone that does have a card, and tested positive, and it was fine. And that was a nurse working in a clinical setting.

That's why I was asking actually. My wife's company hired someone with a card and it caused a SNAFU when she showed it to them. I guess her rapid test was positive but send out was negative. So technically if she didn't show the card she'd have had zero issue. The company has a zero tolerance though, because of their field employees (construction). And her backwards boss and president of the company are just butchering what they should be doing. If I was the employee I'd be contacting an attorney.Yes, but I do not work for a company that drug tests corporate staff.Does anyone on the board have a medical Marijuana card?

Some states have regulations on testing for THC...depending on corporate policy, the medical review staff may contact individuals about positives and ask for a MJ card or a prescription depending on the nature of the positive and the panels run...

Definitely worth contacting an attorney. We drafted a form for the new hire to sign that she would not use it prior to or during work.That's why I was asking actually.

They basically said she can be hired but she's still subject to random testing and if a positive comes, she'd be fired regardless. Seemed wrong, but I was curious what the law (in a civil case) would do.

My sister is the hiring manager and my wife is the HR rep. So I get to hear a lot of fun stories. And by fun I mean not fun.

PA has no restrictions on testing for THC in non-regulated pools. So, it's really the employers' choice, in short. Now, obviously, you can appeal to them about having that medical marijuana card, but you're gonna get hit with that "at will" stuff and all that...
There's about a dozen states (plus Boulder, Colorado) that don't allow for this kind of testing in a non-regulated setting, so there's obvious precedent...it'd be an interesting employment law case probably...
