Tricky wording in that there commercial if you ask me. I'll bet if you ask any tech you meet if they're making that 75k and they'll laugh.

Verizon says something about spending that much total and so is including these guys benefits in that 75k figure. I don't know about you, but my landlord has never let me use my Cigna card for a copay on my rent.

Take a listen next time you see it- that's got to be such bad publicity within the union since I'm sure that's a running joke around the office now.
