I now know of more than five people who chose to quit and get a different job, rather than get a vaccine.
If my employer required it, I’d leave, too.
I work for a large multinational corporation. A majority of our workforce conducts business from home. They’ve shied away from mentioning anything about mandatory vaccination, but my wife and I have had a sober discussion about that eventuality and agreed that I would let them dismiss me. I hate to lose my job, my livelihood, but I refuse to capitulate. This is a hill to die on.
My employer took a slightly different route.
Those who are vaccinated are being told that once they upload a copy of their vaccination card to our HR system, they can return to the office.
Those who aren't vaccinated can only return to the office once they get vaccinated and upload a copy of their vaccination card to our HR system. Until then, they're work-from-home.
Surprisingly (not) the overwhelming majority of people are saying they're not vaccinated.
Who knew, right?!
So far there are no plans to mandate the it where I am.
I never rule out the plans of pointy haired bosses and am kind of looking for something else anyway. The next steps were eliminated some time ago.
There are way worse things than my position so I will play the hand I am dealt.
