It seems like you got a raise. Is there any chance that you can frame the raise as a potential way to repurchase the benefits you lost? It is hard to know if this would be possible with the (understandably) guarded description of the situation.
Basically, is there a way to frame things as net-neutral at least until you find something else?
- ThisIsAStandIn 7y agoNo, got a pay CUT. Salaries did not change, but the amount we need to pay each pay period for health, dental, vision, etc. has gone up about 25% (not unexpected) but the coverage we get for that has gone down significantly. We had arguably, really good insurance coverage. Low deductibles (less than 1000), on the order of $20-30 copays. Now, for 25% more a pay period, we have much higher deductibles, much higher out of pocket limits, co-insurance (we now have 20% coinsurance until the out of pocket max is hit), the prescription formulary moves up to the higher tiers a lot of medications coworkers take.... Same with life insurance/dental/vision. It's more per pay period for significantly less coverage. There's no way to frame it as net-neutral, unfortunately.
