Thread regarding HCSC (Health Care Service Corporation) layoffs

Microsoft Authenticator

Why is the response from HR and the team for people to buy a new phone, instead of just giving them a yubikey? I was in one of those training sessions, and lots of people are having issues to the point they've extended the deadlines.

They gave everyone who needed it RSA tokens in July, and apparently HAVE the yubikeys because the overseas workers have them. Why is this such an issue?

@h1 are you on the BYOD program? It should be an automatic credit on your paycheck once a month. But if you are not on the program and you are just using it for work...you probably not getting reimbursed.

@d4 Do you remember the recent lawsuit brought by customer advocates over clocking in early without being paid? Then everyone got a check.

Watch, because HR didn't seem to learn anything from that. When you change practices look at the whole board, and not just the piece you're moving.

@f0 And it was one ply! People joked about answering phones like that: "Thanks for calling HCSC home of the one ply toilet paper - if your azz is chapped over something - Join Us!!"

@b0 Hcsc doesn’t provide phones. Heck they barely provide toilet paper in the offices.

@b0 incorrect. All phones are your own. They do not provide them And it’s been a 40 buck allowance for 13 years.

@ah HCSC provides phones. If you choose to use your personal phone for work instead of using an HCSC-provided phone, you get a $40 monthly payment.

I put in an IT ticket because I have an older phone that doesn’t support the new authenticator app. I got a teams message from IT that there would be a work around before it was mandatory. Crickets so far.

Is that legal? I’ve always wondered about these companies requiring their people to have smart phones in order to have these apps.
