I am paying <100 per bi-week paycheck for full family coverage. Our company says that they pay 90% and we only have to pick up 10%. that is health, dental and eye for that fee. When I was a consultant with a few diff agencies they wanted 1400/month back in 2004 and it went up every year.
It's fun to have to take vacation and get paid in the bank as your away. I have to burn 3 days this month that don't carry over to 2008. Here at this company they keep coming up with better titles and more $ for them as well. I am gong to throw my hat in the ring for a "Tech Mgr ( Manufacturing Automation and Workflow Sys Dev)" So there could be upward mobility over the near term as well. I know a lot of people that all liked San Antonio as a city and a place to live. It's not Austin but it's pretty close. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
