  • If this had happened a year earlier, before we were sold to a conglomerate, I probably would have just helped this guy with his external state appeal on company time, to be petty about being forced to work the phones at all, and kept working the job. I’ve helped plenty of others do external appeals when I knew the review team was dead wrong.

    Helping that last guy after I quit wasn’t about me being nice, or caring about my community. It was about lashing out at a company that treated me as subhuman, and forcing them to follow the fucking law, which cost them money. The fact that someone benefited from my rage after quitting was just the cherry on top.

    Now I do benefits for about 1800 state employees, and it warms my heart when I can help one of our employees get shit paid for after it’s been denied. Health insurance companies are the devil incarnate, and I’ve made it my personal mission to make sure they all follow the letter of the law and our written contracts when it comes to the employees in my agency.
