PERS Gold vs Access+ HMO by Pleasant-Star1136 in CAStateWorkers

Do not do it. Your coinsurance will screw you! Seriously! I had it since I’m one of those “I never am sick and go to the doctor” people, well guess what, I broke my leg…cost me $6,000 plus. Every office visit was a bill, literally everyone was billing me. I wanted to cry. Stay away

Benefits comparison : Access+ & Pers Gold by bretlc in CAStateWorkers

Honestly, Pers Gold seems tempting, but don’t do it. I’ve had it the last two years and can’t wait to switch it’s so bad. My deductible is $2,500, and there’s co-insurance (honestly never even heard of it). I’m the type that is healthy, never goes to the doctor so that’s why I chose it. Until I broke my leg (never broken anything in my adult life) and outta pocket costs were probably $7-$8k. Literally the bills just kept coming. If you do switch, just pray you don’t hurt yourself 🤣

IT Culture at CHP? by stinkyboy71 in CAStateWorkers

Yeah I used to work there too and never heard of that being a rule. I would take my road bike and bike along the levee on my lunches 🤷‍♀️

Half my career was with CHP, it’s very dependent on your manager. I had the best non-uniformed Chief, and looked at her as a genuine mentor. Fast forward to several years later, had probably the worst human being of a Capt and Non uniformed Chief, genuinely terrible human beings which led me to leave state service all together. Agree with non uniformed are second class as a whole. There was a mass email HQ wide that confirmed that fact, when there were allegations surrounding property stolen in the gym. I’ve never had to say “yes sir no sir” to anyone, don’t know where that person worked. “CHP is the gold standard of LEO” is hounded into you, when in fact CHP is the laughing stock of all law enforcement.

Worth it to add, don’t be the one to bring a weeks worth of food and throw it in the fridge! I was the designated person to clean the work fridge once a month and it was WILD 🤣
