    I actually figured that the coverage for gender affirming care is one of the least awful things about UHC. That said I guess I’m not surprised about it initially not being covered.

    Edit: actually hold on, my benefits guide definitely used to say something about them paying for travel to a safe state for care and even some hotel nights being covered, but I don’t see that anymore…

    It looks like the average is 11 PTO days a year according to Forbes, with nearly a third of employees getting zero. I myself get 24 days a year with it going up to 29 in about a year. That said I’m terrified of being effed over by layoffs so I’ve been hoarding them like a dragon for the payout, which is arguably way way worse than having a nice federal minimum of PTO days.













  • I believe sometimes bad actors will purchase goods from themselves using illegally obtained payment information and then actually send the goods to the victim to try to argue against the chargeback and/or make the victim think “hmm maybe I did order this…”. Or they could be trying to make their devices less likely to trip fraud detection systems for a larger haul. Not sure how well this all works though. With more expensive things (phones, TVs, etc.) I’d think they’re planning on swiping the package before you get it, but with coffee I’d be shocked if that was the plan.
