In what way can a public admission that your employer is going to prevent you from having a personal life until well into your middle years be seen as positive? If Google and friends gave a poo poo about quality of life for their female employees, they would offer the sort of maternity leave that you see in other developed countries.

lol, you're trying to rope me into saying something I never said so you can "win." I'm not saying it's a bad thing because it's inherently a bad thing in isolation, I'm saying it's a bad thing because of what it implies and that it's seen as necessary at all. you can't be that loving dense.

FMguru posted:theres also the stigma that will be associated with any woman who doesnt get her ovaries harvested. women with kids will find the ladder even harder to climb in the future because hey if they were really dedicated to the job they would have taken advantage of freezing their eggs instead of selfishly having kids to be honest, the suggestion that your eggs can be frozen so that you can follow your genetic imperative when you're too old to be useful to your corporate sponsors is pretty sexist and ageist in itself.

Pinterest Mom posted:egg freezing is bad policy if it's the only pro-family policy a company offers, but I don't see anything sinister about giving a woman a choice to work in her 30s and maybe take time off or focus on a child later. "baby or work in my 30s?" is a choice men don't have to make, and this policy helps women at apple and Facebook not have to make that choice Men have vibrant and useful careers (in technology or elsewhere) in their 40s and 50s. The assumption here is that women are freezing their eggs to have kids at those ages because they're no longer useful and won't have the same sort of career a man might at those ages. Why is that?

if you have employer-sponsored healthcare in the USA and your employer operates on a pass-through self-funded basis, someone in HR can tell you exactly what procedures you've ever had under their insurance.

A Wheezy Steampunk posted:would you say this is common? i don't know what that second part means. There are two kinds of large group customers from the POV of an insurance company: Risk and non-risk. Risk customers pay a premium based on their employee make-up. They are placed in a risk pool with other similar risk customers and an actuary calculates what the insurance company needs to charge as a premium for each contract in that pool that matches a risk tier in order for the insurance company to cover expected costs (based on revenue estimation and past trends) plus a few percentage points to run the business. Non-risk customers pay their own claims. If you, Jim Smith, have rear end surgery because you jammed something up your rear end, the insurance company pays the claim, tacks on 3.5% admin to pay expenses, and bills the group policy holder the exact amount. Non-risk plan admins get all your PHI because they want to make sure they're getting what they pay for. If you work for a big company, they are almost certainly non-risk and it is getting more common every day.

It won't specifically say "Jim Smith, rear end Surgery" but the product type will be abstracted, the provider will be listed, and a claim dollar amount will be listed. That's really all you need to know.

It doesn't even get that specific, but when you can see exactly what women went to a given reproductive health provider for the exact same medical/surgical product for the same dollar amount, it gets really easy to pick out what they're having done.

FMguru posted:its how the ceo of america online was able to call out two employees for having expensive difficult childbirths as the reason the company missed its quarterly numbers and no one was getting bonuses a year or two ago, right? Exactly. (btw most smart employers take out stop loss insurance to cover catastrophic claims above a certain threshold, say, $25K. That AOL didn't have stop loss is a tremendous gently caress up and a sign of an incompetent plan administrator.)
