Work Venting
Today is also a shit show for various reasons related to the old parent company's IT department not communicating with the new one, but that's not what I want to bitch about right now.
My partner may be dropped from my health insurance policy because my workplace hired a 3rd party auditor to verify dependents, and they require BOTH a marriage license and proof of co-ownership of property to verify a dependent spouse.
Company policy counts domestic partnerships. I'm extremely angry.

@mawr ...wait so literally only property owners get to have healthcare for their family? D:

@literorrery @starkatt I've already called HR, and from their measured response over the phone I got the impression that they recognized this as a problem that needs fixing.
We'll see if that actually happens or not, though.

@mawr @literorrery good luck 💜

@starkatt Thank you. <3

@starkatt Ahhh, found the description of things they consider valid joint ownership:
• Mortgage Statements
• Bank Statements (we could actually do this, but also fuck being forced to give them my financial info)
• Credit Card Statements (maybe but still fuck being forced to give them my financial info)
• rental/lease agreements (we do not have a written lease for our current living arrangement)
But yeah, fuck every single thing about this.

@starkatt @mawr Call your HR rep. That's incredibly shitty and needs to be fixed. If the auditors aren't honoring the company policy, they're not honoring the terms of your hire and they need to spell out in writing whether this is a policy change or not.
