True, this isn't caused by Apple per se, but the threat of terminating someone's health insurance coverage is coercive, and companies can choose how to play that card.
In the organization I work with, we commonly offer to pay COBRA premiums for several months for employees whose behavior appears to be in the context of a mental health crisis, yet they persist in engaging in threatening behaviors and would rather separate than take medical leave.
This unfortunately is related to the lack of insight that is common during symptom exacerbations of serious mental illness, but we feel it is our last option to try to A) help the person recover even if they don't work with us anymore and B) hopefully help attenuate any threat they may pose to themselves or our organization.
- lostlogin 5y ago> we commonly offer to pay COBRA premiums for several months for employees whose behavior appears to be in the context of a mental health crisis How often is this happening? Or are you in a massive organisation?
- dangle1 5y agoApprox 20K employees, and I think this probably only happens <10x a year. "Commonly" is in the context of employees that are subjects of our formal threat assessments. These are individuals that we have recommended that they take medical leave in lieu of separation, but opt not to.
