That’s awesome news, Baginstien!
I don’t know the long story on my job yet - they pushed out the online questionnaire, reminding us that it’s a federal form and that lying would be a violation of 18 USC ss 1001, which is basically a felony for lying on a federal form.
So I just deleted the email. I have a paper copy of the form for further use with a legal advisor if needed.
I am 62 - I can retire if I want, though these last few years at work have been very good to me, and I would prefer to work a couple more years. The jab won’t happen to me.
According to a reliable source, the woman that cleans our building, some 70% of the employees at our place of employment are NOT jabbed, and have no intention of getting jabbed. Seems about 50/50 among the people I talk with directly, though many that have had the jab are against it being mandatory.
The big question here is whether the employer can afford to lose so many at once. The jab is not mandatory (yet) but we are required to wear a mask whenever on company property, indoors or out if we don’t take the jab. Which is ridiculous, and obviously punitive in nature. Then again, if the guy next to me isn’t wearing a mask, I ain’t either. Let them come after me.
Can the big employer afford to lose that many at once? Yes they can, they got 60%-70% of the vaxxed that will bridge the gap, more that will succumb to the pressure. Then the robots will come online to replace them before their time is up. They won’t need that many robots at that point.
Ugh, I've only got six people in my department and I am the ONLY one not jabbed. They don't know this, of course. ON our conference call back in the spring where everyone was bragging about it, I decided I needed a coffee refill. These people raced to get those shots. People I had previously thought were quite intelligent. I have used coffee excuse, someone's-at-the-door excuse, and "Oops, my wifi just pooped itself..." excuse. They finally stopped talking about it.
70%? That’s a lot; good for all y’all !
I wonder how the cleaning lady knows; maybe she overhears people talking?
