When this whole thing started, there were seven people in a pool of co-workers who said they would not get the jab. Five have changed their minds and got it, mostly because of material desires.

There are others on the base who haven't received the jab, to be sure; at least 50 military and dozens more civilian, but at least in my area, there are only two. Heck, if you really want to boil it down, I'm the only one in my entire squadron standing against the mandate.

So I agree, "If one doesn't stand for something, one is liable to fall for anything."

Can't wait to see how my Thanksgiving get together with family goes today. I've already been asked by my physical assistant sister if I've been "vaccinated," to which I said no. Fun times ahead!

:-)

So, do you want those submarines or would you rather enforce your ridiculous vaccine policy?

They didn’t define that so he’s doing it on their time. He goes to a free test place but did buy a handful of home tests just in case.

Employees forced to resign should tell the company to take a hike.

When does the madness end?
Is your son expected to do this for 40 years?

If the masculine exit stage left, the effeminate win by default. If most of the maculine exit stage left, but some of the masculine stand pat, the effeminate know that they still stand to be defeated unless and until the masculine minority is isolated, cravenly attacked, and otherwise shamed until they finally retreat from the field and cede victory to the effeminate.
It is at this time when the decisive move may end up being made by the masculine.
If the masculine, who now appear relatively small in number or scattered, stand pat rather than retreat and quit, the effeminate, by now in high dudgeon because completely unchaste, will not infrequently choose raise their efforts to stamp out the masculine to a fever pitch.
Their tactics become more unjust. The question then is whether or not law and order still prevails. If so, the masculine can eventually prevail if they “hang in there.” If not, the masculine who try to “hang in there” are martyred and the effeminate survive to write the history books.

Perhaps that was the point of these employer mandates all along...

We’re hoping it only goes through January or so. More American patriots need to rise up

Never be “pressured” to take something that is dangerous to your health and could easily kill you.
Even hyenas wouldn’t do that and we are supposedly smarter humans.

“I have great empathy for the employees who are in their late 30’s and have worked hard to advance the corporate ladder in their 15 year career and now face the choice of starting over in a new career or taking the vaxx.”

That’s where I’m at. Will turn 38 next month, almost 15.5 years in at the company, stay-at-home wife + 6 kids.

My company has thus far encouraged the vaccine but has not been pushy. They’ve stated they still prefer to allow employees to choose.

IF it ever comes to the point where testing, WFH, exemptions, etc. were fully exhausted and I HAD to have detailed conversations with HR, I plan to write a letter fully documenting the OSHA violations I have witnessed in my current role. And how I tried to prevent them. And how I raised them to management. And how management— through lack of funding or indifference— has continued to allow them. And how ironic it would be to fire me under the pretense of avoiding an OSHA fine, when I can detail load$ of fines which would come through one anonymous call.

Fortunately, I wrote an exhaustive document pre-Covid stating in no uncertain terms that our operation was in a state of non-compliance. I updated it this Spring and changed the wording to “our (software) system causes direct violations of federal and state law.”

I am certain dementia Joe’s strategy all along was to rattle the sabers for a few months before publishing the rule, so as to create a defacto mandate from employers. This gave them a few extra months of more vaccines, because they knew it would be shot down shortly after implementation.

I’m not too worried, but am prepared.

With HII the navy needs them more than they need the navy. Your son’s employer probably needs the feds more than the feds need them.

Isn’t that the lamest excuse ever? I wonder who in the company dreamed that up and who approved it.

It’s troubling that even a major defense contractor cannot tell the truth. They should have “explained”: “For our nation’s security, it is imperative that we keep building our contracted-for materiel. We cannot do that if we fire 40% of our team. Therefore, we are continuing employment of our people, vax or no vax. Let’s Go Brandon!”

These people are exclusive builders of aircraft carriers, Arleigh-Burke destroyers, and are only 1 of 2 places building attack subs.

Even the idiot ideologue left woke generals can see the problem in angering these people.

Hopefully this company keeps doing the right thing.“

You’re not doing the right thing if you’re doing a one eighty and necessarily making believe that you’re not. They’re still spineless pigs.

“…there” are martyred and the effeminate survive to write the history books.“

No they don’t. They’ll be to busy taking it up the ass from whomever walks in and makes them their bitch.

The effeminate will not survive to write any history books.

Their eagerness to screw employees to show obedience to the government should have consequences.

100% correct! These spineless companies need to be made examples of, otherwise, they will just immediately knuckle under to the next fascist edict that comes from our utterly corrupt and incompetent government.
