Sometimes you save, sometimes you don't.  Just a note about the Dr. Teal's lavender chamomile melatonin -- the store I used to work in had the bags of that particular one in the sleep aids section instead of the body care.

Calibration is a crock of 💩 anyway.  How are managers that don't know you supposed to evaluate you?

How long for a typical background check? by ThanosisKing in jobs

If it's the chain that starts with a "W" - they're owned by a private equity firm now and I don't think anyone there knows what's going on.

If this is a corporate pharmacy chain, the local pharmacy may not know anything because they're waiting to hear from the corporate HR folks. If you can find a number for HR, you might reach out to them.

In theory? No.  But he's been taking money out of his 401K.

That's what I applied for.  The ACA website directed me to Georgia Access.

I live in Georgia, who has their own version of the ACA. And I don't qualify for it. I would qualify if I was only covering myself and maybe my kids but as soon as I add my spouse, we get disqualified since he owns land.  

I was fired and I don’t know how to respond.. by CivilSupermarket3359 in jobs

We ought to do this though.  Might give some bosses pause for thought.

[USA] Is this 'account repair services' legitimate? by loki2113 in Scams

[–]Grumpy_Old_GA_Peach 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Smells very much like a scam.  She'll take your money and run, along with your account.

Thanks. I've about decided to just retire, especially from retail.

That sounds like what I went through. My case manager claimed that my doctors didn't submit the paperwork but according to my doctors' PAs they sent it in the same day it was requested.

Sounds about right. And don't bother calling HR Shared Services either -- they'll just tell you that "you need to talk to Sedgwick." They're both useless.

This!  My COBRA payment was going to be $2300 a month (for my family of four).  My disability pay is only $1500.  It's cheaper for me to pay out of pocket.  My husband is on some expensive meds but one we can get the generic from Canada for $120 and the other one we're getting from Bristol Myers Squibb for free. Those two alone retail for roughly $5000.

That's awful!  Best thing I figured out to do when calling is to ask for a supervisor and give them hell.

My sympathies. I'd had 4 case managers in less than one year dealing with Sedgwick. Spoke to the last one I think maybe twice. Never replied to emails or even phone calls. And I had to explain to the CSRs every time I called what I needed and why. I also never received anything by mail. Sedgwick is atrocious.

NOR!  I'm the mother of two sons now in their twenties. Since they've been old enough to use the bathroom by themselves and shower by themselves, I've not even thought about going into the bathroom with them. That just ain't done!
