Same boat as you! I think the religious exemption is a trap especially with such short deadlines.
There is no contingency if the denial of your exemption is past the deadline when you need to get your last shot.
Do you have a Plan B if you want to keep your job?
They don’t want to pay the fine and wait out next year if you want to take the vaccine.
My organization will fire people Dec 1 for failure to comply if last shot not taken or exemptions not granted by Nov 23.
In my situation, I was thinking of applying for religious exemption and if things don’t look right before Nov 23, I can take the shot. But I could be fired for misrepresentation. Big warning on the form. Ok, I may be playing both sides. But this whole mandate is morally wrong. There are other people who depend on my income.
[[Do you have a Plan B if you want to keep your job?]]
It’s pretty stinking sad that we went fro being such a great nation where people were happily employed, not worrying about the future really, because we were fairly assured that jobs woild be there for us, to where we now are having to plan on plan b and plan c because our employers are forcing so many able bodied, experienced and skilled workers to either get vaxxed against their wills, or get fired.
I think there should be a national “walk out of work week” for everyone that doesn’t wish to get the vaccines (heck, they are gonna be fired anyways, why not wa.k ljt en mass, cripple business all,across the nation for a week as a form of massive protest, and give them a taste of what life will be like for their businesses when they don’t have the workers to keep,the business afloat because of an asinine vax mandate.
I just can’t beleive that we are forced to even be considering how we are gonna carry on once the “great purge” of unvaxxed workers happens. This is like some freaking Sci fi futuristic movie playing out real time here.
