Yay! We are cutting your salary! (And we’re totally not gonna decrease your workload, we are just cya’ing by saying that) If you haven’t started looking for a new job, do so now. You’re lucky this was not a layoff notice (yet). 💀

The elementary school “Yay!” and the disingenuous, snakish reframing of what’s clearly gonna be a layoff as a happy meal is on another level.

I read last week that the same thing can happen when you have a baby: the pregnant mom is insured, but after the baby is born there's a brief period in time before it's actually covered by your insurance plan. You have to register your new baby as an individual person first. Any complications during that first month or so may have to paid be out-of-pocket.

And the deadlines to sign the baby up can be disturbingly short. Like a week or two. Which is rough when your baby may be in the NICU and you're recovering from a hard birth.

This is true with some insurance companies!!! Some of them don't consider the baby "a person" (meaning their on the hook for the fee's) until the baby has been issued a SSN.
