Guess it is my turn to weigh in on this topic. I feel for this woman, I really do. My previous job (before going on disability for bipolar) was with Equitable Life (an insurance company for both group and individual insurance). I was a computer programmer for all divisions in the company on the group side. That isn't to say I know how Manulife's way of working things is, just that I know a little for how my company worked. I find it hard to believe that they made the decision to cut her benefit based on her Facebook photos only and I believe near the bottom of the article Manulife indicates something to that nature. These companies usually don't make moves like that unless they are pretty sure. But then again I could be very very wrong and if this lady is really sick then I truly hope she gets all her money.
As for Facebook. When it comes to computers. My moto. Nothing is private.
That goes for other sites, too.
I was also reading about the process of going off work. Yes, I have been down that road too. I have been where you are Woody. Went through a complete payout and now I am on CPP. I have been off since 2003 and I would say that this year is the first year I have ventured out of my home and allowed the public to see me happy. I always feared that I wasn't allowed to be happy while on disability even though I had discussed this with my doctor and she told me that it was ok cause my bipolar is brought on by stress. Now, that article proves to me that there are people out there who still don't get it cause even if Manulife didn't do it like it was reported THEN the reporter has it all wrong!
