Open Enrollment - Let's All Complain

How much more would you have to pay per week?

Like 60 or 70 bucks or something.
Edit: actually it's only like 53 bucks more per paycheck.
I need that 200-250 dollars per month though cause I live paycheck to paycheck.

You get paid weekly?

 

[Miggs]

Also, @fishonjazz Do you have any sort of a pension there and if so, how decent is it and how long have you worked there?

I do have a pension but it stopped growing at the beginning of last year.
I have worked here about 16.5 years.
When I retire I should get about 537 dollars per month from my pension. Unless they let us cash it out in which case I would probably use it to buy a rental property .

Ugh. Why did it stop growing?

How many more years do you plan on working?

Because our Union is spineless and union leadership made up of the very stupidest people at our plant.

Mine as well. We’re going on two years without a contract. We should get retro (we always have) which for me would be big because that would be about 7K after taxes coming to me as of now. But my gripe is about our union leaders. Idiotic children, bickering with BOE members and top admin, in all staff emails. Allowing all the provisions other than salaries to be ratified separately last summer in what was a handshake agreement. ****ing idiots. Our BoE and top admin are some of the most ignorant, self-serving scum on the planet. And I blame our union, who knows these people are scum, for being dumb enough to agree to this handshake agreement. We, the staff, gave up some fairly major **** in those provisions, which we now have to adhere to, despite not getting a raise in nearly two years and the wheels continuing to spin on our salaries. I also blame current principals near retirement who don’t have the balls to expose what is said in closed door meetings with our superintendent and asst super.

Because in the last Union contract the pension was shut down.

If I'm being honest I think I will probably work until I die...... If I'm lucky.
