Your opinion of how your company handled a situation that literally nobody on earth has ever encountered before and is still affecting the whole planet isn't in my opinion an excuse to use for yourself the $1500 in credit that belongs to the company.
Normally I'd agree I shouldn't rush to judgement re covid decisions, but I was NEVER even informed I no longer work for them. They just ended my insurance and with zero contact, not even a cobra email. I am a contract worker, so they aren't exactly my employer, but paid my rate and for some reason health insurance. Even IF they asked me to work for them again, there is no way this industry will exist before the credits expire next summer.
