    They’re above board, no bullshit. I’m not aware of any other such firm in the US. I mainly know because my dad was an insurance salesman in the 90s. Worked for 20 firms, only sold you what fit your needs, not locked to a single outfit’s offerings. He was a fan, and given his morals, I had a look. Plus they’re originally from Oklahoma, like me!

    Company before last offered us the benefit, and since I already knew about them, I signed up. Funny thing, I’m not sure I’m paying a dime extra for the “benefit” since I quit that place.

    People have commented online, “I’m not in legal trouble and I don’t plan on suing anyone, don’t need it.” But legal issues are like violence, they’re up in your grill, instantly. In any case, it’s damn nice to literally have a phone number in your pocket for legal aid. I’ve mostly used it to ask, “Can they do this to me?”, “What recourse do I have?”, “What if I do this thing?”

    LOL, the law ain’t what most think. Yes, they can do that. No, you don’t have recourse. Don’t do that thing. But still, having a real lawyer to talk to is damned instructive. It’s the difference between the rich and poor.

    There’s a scene in Blindsight where they’re getting blasted with unholy amounts of magnetism, fucks with everyone’s head. One chick thinks her leg is dead and is screaming and trying to pull it off. Not sure I count it a horror novel, but it has it’s moments.








  • Among other things, I was in charge of on and offboarding and buying IT gear. HR basically told me if the employee won’t return the laptop we just have to suck it up. I may be misremembering, but legally speaking, we gave them the gear, no matter what paperwork they signed. And in no case would it pay to so much as begin legal action.

    And no, we don’t want the monitors. Just not worse the hassle and shipping.
