My employer decided to mandate this week because the owner doesn’t want to miss the chance to use this as political cover if the SC rules against it. So they want to fire all of us unvaxed as quickly as possible. I submitted my sincerely held religious exemption request today but even though I’ve only gone into the office twice since July (and those were not really necessary) they are going to refuse to accommodate by arguing that there is no way to reasonably accommodate my position. It’s all about playing games with how jobs are internally coded to get out of an exemption by saying there is no reasonable way to accommodate my sincerely held religious beliefs. I’m dying on that hill. Other people in my same position work remotely from home and one is in rural Illinois and never goes into an office. Funny that they want to piss off a lawyer.
I work with HR . We demand unvaxxed employees get tested every week. Only about half of them are doing it. Maybe less. The school just kinda ignores it because we can’t afford to lose people.
We have to be boosted by Feb 1. Even though I am getting boosted for other reasons, I may not submit it. If they threaten to fire me, I’ll remind my boss that he and I are both millionaires and we can afford lawyers. And I can walk across the street(literally....a fed contracting outfit) and get hired for more money.
