So i get to work around 7 every morning, most come in around 8-9am. I arrive and i start to hear chit chat like its a Friday afternoon. I don't think anything if it and just think its cause of it being a 3 day work week. Then i receive am email stating to go to the cafe at 9am for a company meeting
At the meeting they begin to tell all employees that if you continue to smoke or use tobacco after the 5th of July (5 days from today) you will be charged $150 more a month for your health insurance, and the room erupted in anger! this does not effect me since i do not use tobacco products. I understand the tobacco users anger since they were only given a week to quit without getting charged.
Do you think this is fair? Can they really do this?
Their reasoning was health insurance costs more for a smoker cause they are generally in worse health. But their premiums will not be raised so i don't understand where the $150 is going.
Now if all smokers quit in the company will my insurance go down? Prolly not
Just curious on what you think.... Should be am interesting day.... Peeps are crushings cigs outside today.... Smoke em if ya got em!
