Obamacare just ruined my life

[Zona]

I just received a letter from my job stating that no one will be working more than 30 hours a week.

I normally worked 48-52 hours per week generating 10 hours of regular play, and 8-12 hours of overtime time. Each hour I work averages an ADDITIONAL $ 11.25 in tips.

This means each week I will now be losing (20)(11.25) + (10)(10.50) + (10)(16.25) dollars per week.

I will now be losing an average of $ 492.50 per week.

This is nearly $ 2,000 per month.

Almost $24,000 a year ($ 23,640)

I can no longer afford my own private healthcare coverage --- thanks to Obamacare.

I will also have to find a second job, and DROP two classes at Stony Brook University.

So now I will make less money, work more hours, and it will take longer to complete my degree.

My life has been ruined by the parasites.

Obamacare just ruined my life.

Good. Imagine how many people it will help.

The OP's making eleven bucks an hour just on tips, on top of his wage, and he's crying poverty???

Isn't this the same poster bitching that the minimum wage is too high??

Yeah, you along with all those fast food workers probably think a burger cook should make 15 bucks an hour. And you call him unreasonable? You don't work his job nor live his life, so how can you pass judgement on his financial situation?

Your current company is just as much to blame as ObamaCare.

You need a full-time job which offers health insurance. Therefore, you will need to complete your education so you can get such a job.

But...

Now that you are part-time, you will need to buy your insurance through a government-run health insurance exchange established by ObamaCare. And since you are part-time, you will qualify for a federal subsidy, thus making you a new suckling on the government tit.

That way, when ObamaCare begins bankrupting the states and they have to choose between raising taxes or kicking all of you off the tit, you will scream for them to raise taxes.

Meanwhile, since you will have to work two jobs, you won't be able to finish your education and you will always be a government dependent.

I hope you are being sarcastic.

Yes, they cutting hours for their employee, and because there is no way to reliably replace those veteran workers, they must also cut back on parties and business.

Get it fuckface?

You are lying. Businesses that are successful do not cut back on business.

The Watermill Catering Center is one of the most successful Catering Hals on the EAST COAST.

Peter King, Steve Israel, Gov Cuomo, and former Prez Clinton are regular guests.

Giant Mercedes Benz Christmas parties and the like.

Great. And they will not turn away business so they can save a few bucks in worker benefits in 2015. That is what you are lying about.

I see none of you liberals have problems balancing your checkbooks. Life must be so prosperous for you. Little do you know, Obamacare will hit your paycheck too, if it already hasn't. How much will you take before you give up on "health insurance for everyone"?

Wow. This thread is a Rorschach test which illuminates how much the leftoids Hate People.

How is that,this should be a good one.

The company obviously never offered health insurance to their employees. So it is a shitty job at a shitty employer.

Now that they are being mandated by the government to provide insurance for their full time employees, the company has chosen to get rid of as many full time employees as possible by making them part time.

Now all those part time employees will become government dependents. The company is shoving its business expenses onto the backs of taxpayers, courtesy of the ObamaCare vehicle.

Hey sunshine..Employer provided health insurance was NEVER an entitlement. It IS known as a "fringe benefit"...A concession offered by the employer to attract better employees. That was yesterday. Health care costs have gone through a massive change. As has how insurance for same is dispensed. Once upon a time, as little as 30 years ago, health insurance was inexpensive. My employer in 1981 was charging me $5 per week for 80% coverage with no co-pay What ruined it was FEDERAL involvement in the business. Federal mandates requiring certain types of coverage and expensive regulations drove up the cost of insurance and the cost of medical care. Government fucked up the whole thing.
No business is required to offer insurance to their employees.
And no business is going to bear the brunt of a government mandate. They will pass the cost along to the end user. Or the business wil find a way around the law or mandate. That is what they do. Adjust or die. And since the primary function of a business is to turn a profit, the business owner will protect himself and if applicable his investors/partners FIRST..That's the way it works.
Don't like it? Move to a socialist or communist country.

 

[NYcarbineer]

our ancillary staff had their hours cut starting January 1st this year.

and there are no insurance for them anymore.

you get what you vote for.

Idiot,

the mandate was delayed to 2015. This is 2013.

Idiot, businesses don't wait till 2015 to prepare for it. Use your head, Carbine.

I figured someone would try that. The mandate was delayed in July. According to your logic, this company needed 16 months to prepare for the 2015 date.

That means they would have done this already in 2012 to prepare for the 2014 date, since they wouldn't have known then about the delay.

lol, think before you post.

 

[thereisnospoon]

but I think this will will solve itself in a short time.

Even a short time is an eternity when your destitute.

You state of destitution is nobody's fault but your own.

And so are those idiot fast food workers who are demanding an absurd hourly wage.
I wonder what your reaction would be if this was you or your wife.
You'd change you tune pretty fuckin fast...

 

[thereisnospoon]

Forced? When you need It its forced...When others its because they are lazy.

Stop being lazy

Until I can find a second job, it is forced.

No one's forcing you you piece of shit.

I hope you are never in this situation. If you were,I'd laugh my ass off at you.
Fucking hypocritical bastard. Fuck you libs. You are at fault here. You brought this scourge that is Obama upon the nation.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Get that second job and pull up those bootstraps! You AREa real American, ain't ya?

You sure as hell aren't..

 

[thereisnospoon]

Or....maybe "they" just like using sarcasm to point out how idiotic nutter partisan talking points are.

Way to be insightful!

Perhaps you just aren't involved enough in the real world. Let me ask you this: are employers cutting workers hours or not?

That is the premise of the thread that you have not addressed, except maybe by dismissing it as talking points. You are showing yourself you be wholly ignorant of facts.

Sure they are. They have been for a long time to avoid paying benefits. The American worker has been getting screwed since the 70's due to the weakening of unions and the off shoring of jobs. Real wages have not increased for 20 years. Reduced pay, reduced benefits........all long before the GOP inspired Obamacare became law.

Now...some employers are using Obamacare.....with a mandate that is more than a year away....as an excuse to keep on fucking over workers and they get to make a political point at the same time.

I don't buy it.

You want to have an adult discussion.....start being an adult.

Stop whining. Stop lying.

Wait a minute. Michigan and NJ are progressive, but NY isn't? lolol

 

[thereisnospoon]

It comes as no surprise the liberals in this thread celebrate the suffering of other with whom they disagree.
Liberals are mean, vindictive nasty, envious whiners who are in a constant state of misery.
The every day lib is not happy unless everyone else is equally miserable.
Liberals wallow in misery. They exist in a world of guilt. Guilt they have been told to feel because with any achievement there must be apology.

LOL, don't run a business do you? Never had to deal with bureaucracy have you? If you did, you're lying; if you haven't, think before you post. A business may have just completed preparing for the mandate in 2012, but suddenly instead of 2013 which they were prepared for, it's 2015. It's a whole 'nother ballgame, Carbine. With most of it in serious jeopardy as it is, a business may have difficulty preparing for it, or may have to start over completely. This isn't a split second process, mister.

I think your math is off a bit. I'm sure you are going to be hurt in this and I agree that it sucks, but this:

"losing (20)(11.25) + (10)(10.50) + (10)(16.25) dollars per week" adds up to 40 hours. You aren't losing 40 hours of work each week, you are losing at most (according to your "48-52 hours" statement) is 22 hours per week.

No, I'm including the tips.

If I work 30 hours instead of 50 hours, then I lose 20 hours.

10 of those hours are overtime at 16.25

10 of those hours are normal, at 10.50

Each of those 20 missing hours is also -11.25 in tips.

So you get

20hours($11.25 {TIP}/hour) + 10hours($10.50 {normal wage}/hour + 10hours($16.25 {overtime}/hour)

Can also redistribute the terms as:
Let A = 10.50, for wage per hour.
Let B = 16.25, for wage per overtime hour
Let C = 11.25, for average tip (yearly average) per hour

10(A+C) + 10(B+C) = 10A + 10C + 10B + 10 C = 10A + 10B + 20C
