I wish someone would stand-up to these people

My employer takes out a life insurance policy on nearly all of their employees so they hope I die and don't care if I smoke or not. Rumor has it that if you retire they keep the insurance policy active to eventually collect. Oh, and if a current employee does pass, not once have I seen any management attend the service. Yet they preach how we are family. Yeah, right.

They are a hospital they were already providing healthcare to their employees so Obamacare has nothing to do with this. They won't even get a break on insurance premiums because they aren't forcing the current employees to stop tobacco products. It's an image thing.

Im so glad I ran to the hills 20 yrs ago and got out of that rat-race. I understand the company line..and its my time...but it still comes down to do you want the job or not???
