Life in These Here Now United States (health care mix)

[substitute]

My health benefits provider (Blue Shield California) sent me a nastygram in the U.S. Mail saying I was cancelled, cancelled, cancelled. I looked on their website, saw that this was not so, and didn't panic

I got one for you

We contract with a company called Work Place Answers to provide on-line sexual harassment prevention training for our supervisors, as required by CA law. Recently, our Human Resources Dept also contracted with WPA to provide on-line ethics training. Mind you, no one wants to take any of this.

So WPA agreed to send out notices regarding the ethics training on a Friday, and therein would provide the personalized link for each employee that lets WPA track who has taken the course. HR planned to send out a notice on Wednesday letting people know to expect the WPA e-mail, explaining what it was about, etc..

So on Tuesday WPA sends out their e-mail. And in it they say nothing about HR. No, they say this is all the doing of my office and even provide our contact information. So that morning we are inundated with hundreds of irate calls demanding to know just who has reported the caller as unethical and just who the hell do we think we are

Tell WPA and HR to clean out their desks.

sent an apologetic email saying the cancellations were their mistake and were being rectified.

I've decided that I'm thru with accepting corporate apologies-
they are as rhetorically ceremonial and useless as turning a big plastic prayer wheel Sharpied with "OOPS" in Sanskrit. (༺ ऊप्स् ༻)

Now, instead of apologies, I demand money, or credit, or free things, or will
grudgingly accept the sound of literal sobbing on the part of a
feckless manager.
