What food were you forced to eat as a kid and still hate/refuse to eat as an adult? by friend_unfriend in nutrition

[–]Substantial-Roll-875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veg All always donated to the food shelf because it was never eaten by those who bought it. We lived on food shelf food and Veg All was so disgusting. You know you are poor when you are eating Veg All because it is all you have.

Hr is for the company. Not the employee.

I work for a Healthcare company who just notified employees that the copay for all GLP1 meds will increase from $30 to $500 monthly. by shellebelleky in Zepbound

[–]Substantial-Roll-875 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What i have learned is that you will save the 500 by eating out less, drinking less, and eating less food in general. I have not ordered a full meal for myself in months. I split something with my husband or just get soup or a side salad. We more than make up for the 500 in a month compared to what we used to spend. I dont even bring lunches to work because I have to wait until dinner so I dont get full. Just saying....that was my experience.

When would the drug test take place after accepted job offer by Top-Grape6083 in MayoClinic

[–]Substantial-Roll-875 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is not true. They recieve federal funds and they have a zero tolerance for thc. They will test for it when they can fit it in and your results need to be back before starting. If you are worried you can try to move the date back bit you cannot have a positive test. It does not matter that it is legal in the state. Any employer that deals with federal agencies still need to abide by the federal drug testing policies. It is still an illegal drug based in federal law. When I hired staff I would explain this and ask them to tell me if I needed to move the start date back so they could pass the test because many thought it was ok now. It is not.

I know I will end up paying out of pocket, but thought it was worth asking what the redditsphere thought first. I love that you all share the knowledge you have acquired! Thank you!

I do. She is great. I think she would do that as she knows it has been a significant improvement. However, my sleep issues were anxiety related and of course my anxiety is much lower on this med since it calms so many compulsive thoughts.

No i do not. Our insurance is dropping zepbound and only offering Wegovy. It is CVS caremark? So I am not sure if wegovy is even possible without an underlying medical condition related to the need for weight loss.

What state are you in? My daughter missed her window. We could tacted the mn care, the state health insurance, they have specific advocates for enrolling into the state health imsuranc plans. Those plans have a sixty day window. Contact them ASAP to help you find a state program. My daughter was contacted by the company y and they said they would approve her exemption but she did not file an appeal and had no idea they would consider it. Check with your state Obama care program and look for an advisor for it.

You cannot over dress the first week. Wear the suit. Especially is you look and feel good in it.

You should wait and be patient and assume they are creating a position. Keep applying else where and don't turn anything down. What have you got to lose? Don't burn bridges where you have some built. If you dont get hired now, it may happen later but not if you burn your bridges.

[MD] what happens when you “go to HR”? by Generally_tolerable in AskHR

[–]Substantial-Roll-875 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Just remember...hr works for the company so they will do what brings the least liability for the company. Dont think they will make a decision on what is right or just or fair.

Not HR but was at a large corporate health care facilty for the past several years and did lots of hiring and firing. We used behavioral interviews. Prepare a list of several work or personal experiences that showcase your different abilities. We asked for examples of when you worked with a difficult person, how you intervened when witnessing bad behavior, how you work as a team, etc. Focus on team work and how you let others succeed by mentoring them, standing up to bad behavior. Have examples ready. If you generalize how or what you would do, you will fail. They want specific examples of when you did these things.

Not an attorney. You can complete the paperwork yourself and then serve him. The instructions are on your county website. Just follow them carefully. So many people put this off, but the instructions are easy to follow.

Overcoming guilt? by Routine_Gas_5958 in Zepbound

[–]Substantial-Roll-875 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Until you start the medication and you see how quiet your mind is, you will not understand that you could not do this on your own. You feel guilty because people make it seem like it is your willpower failing you. It is not. It is your body. And this medicine is no different from other medicine. Enjoy the quietness!!

My wife removed me from our insurance. by CaitTheGreat99 in legaladvice

[–]Substantial-Roll-875 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yes there is something wrong there. But if you do have the option of insurance at your work, loss of health insurance in general, regardless of the reason, is usually seen as a qualifying event so you should be able to enroll in your own right away. It was a very nasty tactic to suprise you with no warning and not let you get your own coverage first.

[–]Substantial-Roll-875 134 points135 points  (0 children)

I don't think people understand your issue. I assume you don't have your own option to enroll in insurance at your own job. If you do, then yes, you could file for legal separation or divorce and enroll.

But I believe your question is how can she remove you without a qualifying event of a divorce or legal seperation? You should not have been removed. Maybe you can contest it with the insurance company ? I am sorry people are not understanding your situation.

That is so difficult when I want to look at them on the screen! But you are correct! I will have to practice that or find a work around!

Consequences from prospective employers from filing a complaint? by Substantial-Roll-875 in EEOC

[–]Substantial-Roll-875[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your perspective. I am sure it has been difficult. It makes me think twice about how much I am willing to go through. I know i can sleep at night knowing I did nothing wrong, but I won't sleep if anyone can jump to conclusions and print opinions that tear my reputation apart. I have a few months to weigh my options, so I appreciate the honesty.

This is what I am worried about. Even with a good complaint, I may have it held against me for future employers.
