Finally, our work, allegedly a fed contractor, has given us forms for the exemptions from the COVID jab.
There is one question:
Are there any reasonable accommodations of which you are aware that would enable you to perform your job duties on-site, if required, without posing a direct threat to the health or safety of the employee or others? If so,please specify the reasonable accommodation and why you believe it will be effective:
I said I could
* wear mask * social distance * stay inside my office with door closed * take zoom calls for meetings and not be in the same room as other people
Did anyone got their religious exemptions approved as a fed contractor?
Thanks for anyone for any help - it'll be a lifesaver!
There is a disclaimer that the exemption can be taken away any time.
I work for a major defense contractor - woke as most large companies are.
Also, you could consider agreeing to putting on one of those contact tracer things on your phone. When I traveled to Wisconsin I got a automated message on my phone asking if I wanted load the app to see if I had come in close contact with someone who had tested positive. So I guess they have that sort of thing. I remain suspicious of that kind of thing but I would agree to do that before the vax if it kept my job.
What is the nature of your religious exemption? Aborted fetal embryo cells used in testing and/or manufacture of the vaccines?
I wonder why a PETA exemption wouldn't work. We know they test this stuff on animals. In this crazy world, that is a lot worse than using aborted fetal embryo cells.
There is no correct answer for this.
It’s a ruse. An illusion. A trick to make you think you have some kind of control. That you are still at the table. That anyone cares what you think.
When it comes to your work the only thing that will save you from getting a dangerous chemical injected into your body is your boss and his views of this brutal tyrannical attack on you, your freedom and the wellbeing of your family.
And he’s already made his stance clear.
If you bend to this and “try to work it out” you’re only ensuring our enemy escalates and goes after your kids. If you take a stand now, if we all take a stand now, we’ll actually be doing more to protect our kids.
I too wanted to “stick it to them” and fake a vaccine card. I wanted to get into my medical records and change it but then I realised this fact. If the people at southwest airlines did this we would have never even heard about their protest. The machine would continue moving forward until they came after your kids.
I can fake a record. I can fill out an exemption. I can trick them. But if I do all I’m really doing is allowing them closer to my daughter. That’s the opposite of my intent.

There is zero direction from HR - I don't think they really know what the next steps are.
HR orgs rarely do, but this is the worst.
Note that my job is about 1 day a week teleworking. The days I am on-site I am in a separate lab, alone. The lab has it's own separate HVAC system - to keep the equipment cool regardless of what is happening out in office-space land. There is a door to the lab with a lock that only myself and two IT guys have the combo for... If/when I leave the lab I have to, by policy, wear a mask and social distance. So does everyone out in office-space land. When they leave their office area, they must mask up and distance...
Yet I will be fired if I don't take part in an experimental drug trial. A trial that it is becoming increasingly obvious involves vaccines that are only marginally effective while posing a not insignificant risk. Well, I won't be fired. I'm putting in my two weeks notice, probably in about two weeks.
It is covid religion not science. It has become unquestioned dogma. It is about compliance not health. It is insanity.
The response is that you are no more of a danger to anyone than you would be if you were vaccinated.
Odd that it’s asking you to come up with lockdown measures that you “think” will protect others. Odder still that FReepers are coming up with additional offerings for self-abuse that you could provide.
This was certainly my last experiences with HR. They offer/guarantee NOTHING and expect you to sign whatever commitment to them that you’ll agree to, in blood.
It is simply documentation to enable firing you.
Still no mention of the “NUNYA” exemption. Nonya busuiness why I don’t want it. I simply don’t want it. Like a flu shot. Don’t get those either. Why? Cause I don’t.
After enough time jumping through hoops to keep a job, I guess you finally realize somebody considers you to be a circus animal. They keep making the tricks you have to do more complicated, while they sit back and laugh at your efforts.
There is no rule and OHSA is going to get crushed in court by Intel, which has based its rules on science , not Faucism.
We were just told this week that we must comply with the “ new law”. I pointed out it is not a law, it’s a press release. Well to make a long story short, i am retired as of 12/3/2021.
1) wear a mask per CDC guidance to reduce the threat
2) will not come into work if running a fever, tested each morning, afternoon per CDC guidance
3) will not come into work if felling unwell per CDC guidelines
4) will maintain social (6-feet) per CDC guidance
5) offer to work with others who hold exemptions
6) If a manager/supervisor - supervise those valued team members who also have an exemption
7) telework when appropriate and with organizations approval
….
I’m in the same situation.
I have not been into the office since May. Makes no difference to my work. I am required to be vaccinated by some date in December.
No guidance on religious exemption. I will try to go that route, if possible. But if the company is difficult about it, then I’ll just lose my job. I get job offers every week — those companies may also reject me without the vaccine, but the thing I see is that I work in a specialized field and companies cannot find people like me. If they choose to fire a good percentage of their workers, that’s more their problem than it is my problem.
That may be the direction I move to - I was planning on three more years (I'm 63), but I'm OK now. It's just that I love my job and, frankly it's been a whole career.
I need to wait to see what HR comes up with, they may accept my R.E. (doubtful), they may pay me severance and unused vacation time, or they may just kick me to the curb.
LET'S GO BRANDON!
I am also watching the liberty counsel lawsuit like a hawk, I just hope they can get somewhere before the deadline. I have read the suit and it is as solid as can be. As we all know these mandates are not anywhere near legal.
I will be writing my religious exemption this weekend, and one of the hardest parts is writing the suggestion for how to still work but in a way that is “safe” and the least burdensome to the company. Keep those ideas flowing in. I plan on using all the rules that have supposedly kept us “safe” thus far. Use their guidance to prove I can still be “safe”.
Religious exemptions are available, but federal contractors will accomodate such religious exemptions by placing the exempted employee on un-paid suspension (and requiring such employees to paid the company’s contributions for their health insurance) until the company decides how to handle the situation, unless the exempted employee voluntarily resigns in the meantime.
Problem solved.
