- “I hate renewal season.”
- “You wanna share the news with the team? Not me. I did it last year.”
- “Well, maybe we’ll get a lower rate this year.”
- “Hey, where’d everybody go?”
- “OK, time to shop for some insurance quotes.”
- “They should be happy with what we’re giving them.”
- “Let’s just toss out some more voluntary benefits.”
- “I feel so out of control.”
- “Let’s just wait and see what happens in Washington.”
- “Let’s just wait and see what happens in Albany.”
- “This sucks.”
- “Ok, open enrollment is next week…what are we doing?”
- “THANKS Obamacare!”
- “THANKS Trumpcare!”
- “I don’t know how much longer we can do this.”
- “I need a beer.”
- “The employees are going to have to cover this.”
- “Yeah it’s expensive, but not everyone has to go to college.”
- “Let’s just raise the deductible.”
- “Do we have to go through this same thing every year?”
- “Seriously? They cancelled the plan again!”
