'I was able to approve 50+ cases before I quit': Insurance employee dismisses company guidelines, refuses to deny claims, then quits


Insurance companies do everything in their power to convince us to get on board with them, assuring us that they will be there for us, through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, till whatever do us part. When sickness does arrive though, they flee faster than a groom or bride who caught cold feet the night before their wedding. Gone with the wind and the dress, they're suddenly nowhere to be found. In other words, when they had said, 'We will cover the cost', what they really meant was, 'We will not cover the cost'.

In this case, u/jthememeking shared his experience working in an insurance company denying claims when he was just 19 years old, despite having literally zero experience, medical or otherwise. It was a grueling, tiresome, and infuriating job that OP didn't feel comfortable doing, so he didn't last very long at it. Before he quit, he was rebuked for 'slacking off' and told to 'work harder'.

These words gave OP an idea — work harder? You got it. OP began approving any and all claims, doing the literal opposite of what he was supposed to do, costing the insurance company a lot of money in the process. Who said a vigilante has to wear a cape? Scroll down to read the (frankly, quite wholesome) story.

For more, here is a boss who was made redundant after he gave absurd orders to his employee. He had wanted to fix something that wasn't broken, and it cost the company a lot of time, money, and effort. Luckily OP had a paper trail of emails and was only given a disciplinary hearing. His boss though? Fired.
