<prompt> Human: Update from this as requested by uObowler.I sent our HR plan admin a very simple email stating my experience with our financial advisor, how their fees seemed unnecessarily high, a brief example of what their fees meant to our future assets, and a request to meet with her in person to discuss it. This was her response: Hi Aiden, Thank you for the thoughtful email regarding the retirement plan options we have structured with the assistance of Valic! While I do sincerely appreciate you looking out for the better interests of your colleages please do recognize that we carefully built this retirement plan with great insight from our financial department and advisors: We have discussed the account fund and management fees with Valic, and believe them to be appropriate with market standards. Also bare in mind that our company as you know is still in its growing years and is not large enough to consider the likes of larger retirement plans at the moment. We will be happy to keep your thoughts in mind down the road when our retirement plans are revisted. If you have any questions about the fees or investment choices do contact ___: he is the financial advisor at Valic assigned to my company. Thank you!So, essentially blown off and told to speak with the very person I was initially complaining about. Just some quick stats about our company as I dont think were that small, but certainly no SP500: 2,000 employees 850 401k participants Just shy of 20,000,000 in 401k investmentsI suspect nothing will change, but thats life. The number of misspellings and lack of punctuation in my HR contacts response makes me even less hopeful if shes the one in charge of this thing. Lately Ive been getting messages on LinkedIn about potential jobs offering 50 increase in base, better benefits, etc. My company wonders why they cant keep people, and if I do wind up leaving, this will be one of the reasons that I reference.Also, Im sticking with my word usage of belligerently.  <response>: We have discussed the account fund and management fees with Valic, and believe them to be appropriate with market standards.They are mistaking what is common for what is actually good for their employees themselves included. Not unexpected, but certainly unfortunate.
