Jetblue hiring... how and why?

[johnsonrod]

Sounds like JB would be OK if you were single and in great shape. If you have a growing family, health care becomes a bigger budgetary item and should be a consideration (especially if only one spouse works) when looking at job opportunities.

Go to SouthWest.

That's a typical response from someone that hasn't been at JB that long. Don't try to fix it, just leave. Great!

 

[Splert]

What question?

Post #82. The sentence that ends with a "?".

Mine didn't. Did yours? I have no idea how much your health insurance went up.

I have no problem fixing things. I have a problem with miserable SOBs like Splert. He should either shut up, or leave.

(Yeah, I'll tell you that to your face too.)

We need people like Splert. The enthusiasm is admirable and needed. He just needs to check himself.

Let recap and start at the end and work our way back.

I asked: "Question did our health increase 300 - 900% this year"?

Newhire Juicer ends up saying:

1. "I have no idea how much your health insurance went up"?.

But that did not stop her from posting:

1. "Have you looked around the country and noticed that healthcare costs are going up for everyone"?

2. "Go to South[w]est."?

3. "What question"?.

I'm the SOB and that should check myself?

I'll take a swing at this,

The "check yourself" comment might have something to do with the fact that you throw around "newhire" as an insult (insinuating that your opinion matters more due to your longevity). Also, why are you using the feminine pronoun "her"? Are you insinuating that you are superior to a female? Unless you have first hand knowledge that the other poster is in fact female, your attitude is insulting.

Your points may be valid, if true. But your delivery is where I think most of your readers would agree you should "check yourself".

He doesn't know how much our health care has changed but felt free to swing away without any facts and you are more concerned about "her" and "new hire".

I thought it was when he played the Captain card:

"You would tell your CA to STFU. Better read Section 14 of your PEA junior."

That's some funny shiite right there.

 

[Splert]

Our current health care is nearly last years $60 a month family plan. The company kept the same coverage and raise the cost to $580 a month (Orange Plan). $300 a month for the Green and almost $400 for the Blue Plan. The Orange is a HDMP with an FSA, Green is a HRA and Blue is a HSA. HSA and HRA have rewards that are funded by the increased cost to the employee which the company has said will only be offered for 3 years and then 'reevaluated'.

60 to 590 is nearly a 950% increase and ASA_whatever says: "Have you looked around the country and noticed that healthcare costs are going up for everyone" and finishes with: "I have no idea how much your health insurance went up".

Actually I think Splert makes perfect sense. I also personally think a new hire isnt qualified to make an educated decision or offer their opinion when they dont know any more about JB than what was offered by the new hire cheerleader committee.

Remember this is no different than any other publically traded company. The sooner you realize that the better. The 5 values BS, tagline of the month, or fake pretend we care pocket sessions are nothing more than an attempt to keep the uninformed, incompetent or apathetic from gaining any insight into reality.

If they were really exceeding employee expectations why would they need to pay 3rd party firms millions to " manage our expectations "

He resorts to petty insults such as calling me a woman, but all that does is show how unevolved and ignorant he is. I feel sorry for him, but most especially, his first officers.

I've never said that I'm a no voter. My only point has been that this place isn't burning down. It's not a bad place to work. But I've gotta say, guys like him d@mn sure make me want to vote no out of spite. So you guys who are involved with the organization process, you need to get a handle on the vocal idiots. They are going to lose it for you...again.


(Disclaimer- Before you all jump my crap

I didn't say I was going to vote no out if spite. I said he makes me want to.)

If you vote no because of a internet bulletin board poster calling you a 'her' after you told those of us who have worked here for better part of decade to "STFU", "whaaaaaa', "Have you looked around the country and noticed that healthcare costs are going up for everyone" and then post you have no idea how much our plan increased in cost and reduced benefits then you are the sweet spot hire of the decade.

You will always be a no voter. That is okay just back up with facts.

Again, never said I was a no voter.
