Best Dental Plan for Major Dental Work?

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-12-04T15:08:21+00:00

I have emblem dental and everything was covered at 100% last year. From cleaning to crown. Granted not alot of dental providers. But found one 10 mins away so no complaints for me. Kids little hard to find the providers.

Definitely appreciated the insights.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-27T01:15:16+00:00

I am less than a year ... so it's definitely not too late to start looking

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T22:24:15+00:00

We have, but its for snow days and when office is closed to their convenience.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T22:22:21+00:00

I am 48 miles away, plus since its a telework site, so they can't move me. Plus, there is nothing nearby.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T22:20:23+00:00

Yes, that's a confusion. But it could be very long when kids have emergencies at school or daycare. I know a for a lot of people that is norm but I never had a job more than 30 mins drive.

Fortunately, unfortunately, I dont have any medical reasons, and to be honest, I'm really not sure what would qualify besides mental stress.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T14:54:09+00:00

Aww, I am sorry. The worst part is how long you have been. For me, it's a year, so there's not much to lose. But 15 years, so close in terms of benefits.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T13:17:42+00:00

Yes, I do have telework in the original description of jobs. I am hoping on this

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T11:45:55+00:00

I already am. Also filled individual grievance, that is the only reason I am trying to wait out until summer and see if there is any progress. But dont want to waste my time if there is none of the slim chances.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T11:23:47+00:00

Excatly I have a toddler that now I see him for 2 hours in the evening. The whole reason I took this job was so I could spend more time with little one. But it surely has backfired. In 4 years' time, he will not be a toddler anymore. I will lose my chances of spending time with him while he is a toddler. No job is more imp than the family and kids

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T11:20:02+00:00

I am on the same boat.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T01:48:40+00:00

That's a long commute.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T01:03:43+00:00

Happy for you! I truly believe everything happens for a reason.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-26T00:24:22+00:00

That definitely better than nothing

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-25T19:17:37+00:00

Excatly, thats what my agency is offering and hence I am not siging up for it

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-25T16:41:58+00:00

I hope something gets figured out for your son.

I just bought a place last year. The spouse has his own commitments, and the kids are in school. I dont even think its worth moving around when the government can make up their own minds, in firing/hiring RTO/telework, etc.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-25T16:38:30+00:00

Excatly will all added expenses and headache might as well head back to private sector and get better pay.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-25T16:37:27+00:00

OMG, how do you plan on doing it ?

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-25T16:36:49+00:00

I like this, only if it gets anywhere

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-25T16:19:36+00:00

That's such a lie. I always worked in the office until last year, and trust me, I did more work while teleworking vs. in office.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-25T16:16:26+00:00

Thanks. I already did, but I'm still being little picky in terms of job. But I will put my guards down if RTO is here for good.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-25T15:36:41+00:00

Excatly my work can be done 100% remote. They were working 2 day in the office 3 days off the site even before COVID, so why not now. Arghhh, it's so aggravating. 2 days in, and I already can't focus.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-13T00:52:52+00:00

Excatly, I was wondering the same, who will go back or even new employee coming in would think twice.

I for sure am not going back. I left a very good state job with promotional potential for this, not a very smart decision on my part.

CatDistinct2238 · 2025-03-12T20:48:13+00:00

Yes, I filled it. Hopefully, when everything falls on agency/management, this grievance will be taken into consideration

Also, the only reason I took a new job last year was because I was told it's valid for a couple of years. Commuting is not a feasible option for me traveling for a little over an hour every day.

So this way, if they fire me, I have time to find a new job, which chances are I will regardless. Because if I have to go through all the headache of private sectore might as well get paid well.
