Advice to Management

Extend health benefits through the end of the calendar month for anyone leaving the company.

I’m not sure how much is saved by cutting off benefits right on the termination date, but it’s incredibly petty to return premiums and end benefits.

It doesn’t seem like TI cares about me or my family when they care more about a few dollars to their bottom line. My child is now hospitalized because I decided to wait one more day to seek treatment so my new benefits from a new company could become active.

Additionally, find out who is responsible for the Micron to TI benefits transfer debacle in Lehi and correct that issue, whether internally or with the insurance provider or both. I would have been just as well off not being insured altogether for the past 6 months.

Finally, in a competitive hiring market, letting your best talent leave and seek better opportunities because you are over headcount numbers is not an effective strategy. I shouldn’t have to explain why that’s not sustainable.
