The job offer came in. It was full asking price so to speak. It may end up
being a little bit more travel than I currently have, or it might not. Since
they fired half the company, we have had mass exit of people on their own
resulting in an increased customer base for the rest of us to handle.
I've never found stupid to be funny or entertaining ... just makes me mad.

So here is the deal with their insurance. It sounds like they have a broker
with several different options, they contribute $100 a month. It is based on
age and per person. He is supposed to be getting me quotes but not sure the
numbers will make sense. Has anyone here bought health insurance
When I worked for a small company about 10 years ago that is what they did.
This was pre-ACA, so no idea how it works now.
In lieu of providing health insurance they gave us a stipend and we could go
out and buy an individual policy. I had an Anthem Individual policy through a
broker. My

Be sure you understand the coverage you are buying. When I was buying my own
insurance I had a family plan but notably it did not have maternity coverage.
That was OK for us as we were done having kids but certainly is something you
would want to chose deliberately.

Agree the benefits are light which is why I want to get some numbers from them
before committing.
As far as current job, it’s hard to see there will anymore layoffs since people

they contribute $100 a month. They are supposed to be getting me numbers
