I work forty two hours a week at a job that calls me full time on paper and part time on the benefits chart. Found that out for real last month when I tried to add health insurance during open enrollment and got told I'm half a point under the eligibility threshold.
So I'm paying for an ER visit from June out of pocket on a payment plan while still clocking the same hours as the guy next to me, who happens to be two months longer at the company and somehow qualifies.
My manager says it's an HR formula thing and there's nothing he can do, which might be true but doesn't make the invoice feel any smaller.
I don't even know what I'm asking for here. Just tired of being full time everywhere except the one place it would actually help.
