Edit: I will take the Under.

Let me see the doctor's note, your bosses notes, and photo ID.

Just got the insurance shpeal at work from our agency's friendly Anthem representative. I've got a few questions and comments.

1. First and foremost: This woman was straight creepy.

She's like late 50s, botoxed up, and while talking about life insurance tried to sell me on it by explaining how she was paid "super quick" (snaps her fingers) when her husband died last year. "Took just two weeks!" She said this with a smile and no indication of sadness etc. Like, I was uncomfortable even expressing sorrow for her loss so I just nodded slowly and forced a smile.

She 20 minutes later, while talking about disability insurance, made casual reference to her husband's cancer diagnosis and how, over the course of 2 years, they were getting short term disability payments but that he never stayed out of work for 6 months or longer in one chunk of time, so they didn't qualify for the long term benefits. Again, just showing a little smile, not even averting her gaze.

2. Do these people get commission? I felt like she was selling me on insurance, but thought she was just a salaried employee or something whose job it is is to tell us about the benefits packages offered.

3. Conversation got to a point later when she was talking about the penalties under Obamacare for small businesses not offering health insurance to their employees. She was under the impression it was only slightly less than what it would cost most small businesses to offer insurance, which in turn got me thinking about the giant pieces of s*** who might opt for the penalty to pay $5 less per month to not offer insurance to employees.

Anyone well informed to give a concise explanation of what the penalties look like for small business, and then compare it to what they might pay for some basic insurance packages for their employees under the ACA?

4. It needs to be emphasized how straight scary this woman was when talking, without any change in affect, about her recently deceased husband, and how pleased she was with the rate at which she was paid out. Especially given the later information about the slow, painful way he passed away. WTF?! For more description, she was very tan...almost dried out, if that paints a clear picture, wore what I assume was her husband's wedding ring around her neck, had dyed blonde hair, and teeth which were unnaturally white.

She was probably hitting on you when she told you about her dead husband.

lol wow

chutzpah

Sounds like she's dealt with her loss in a healthy way and you're being needlessly judgemental.

She kinda sounds like what that Cougar Life "you fold sweaters for a living, honey" woman would be like irl

That would be really weird if she got commission imo.

I always assumed those people were commissioned salesmen.

The one's I've dealt with are.

Is there any reasonable defense for this?

European Court upholds French full veil ban

What??????

You could go full liberal and say that freedom of religion doesn't give you the right to repress women.

So you can't use a piece of clothing in public to exclude yourself from being in the public. That's awful in so many ways of course it is already straw-equated with liberools.

The absurdity of going "full liberal" is limited only by ikestoys' imagination!

Full liberal: BAN THEM ALL! rofl

I could mock that ruling all night.

If she can wear her niqab, than I should be able to wear my hockey mask with pantyhose over it.

All part of rape culture
