Thinking we should check in to see how things are going with the vax mandates for jobs.
Specifically, those who don’t want a jab.
Are you in conundrums from this? Possibly losing your job? Forcing you to come up with exemptions, or take testing that’s a big hassle, all so you can stay at work?
What’s happening? How might you deal with it?
We’re supposed to upload our COVID cards on an internet site that’s loving this opportunity.
If not that, weekly testing. I will not do either of these things. I have not tried an exemption though no such thing is mentioned at work.
BTW, aim having to do this despite the fact I have been virtual working minimal hours ever since this nonsense started. Our campus is open but I have not been allowed to be in person yet, so it’s absolutely ridiculous.
Oh and BTW, they have no rules about actually doing anything to enforce ON campus.
I am going the fire-me route. I’ve shut up since the final rules came out, but may prepare a bit of complaints including how they’ve failed at being pure safety NAZIs if they don’t keep us dangerous unvaxed people ACTUALLY OUT of their buildings!
Today was my last day at CVS...
Why not do the weekly testing? Just curious.
I had already been double vaccinated by the time the idea of making them mandatory came in here.
I believe in vaccination.
But if I’d known they were going to make it mandatory for people in my profession, I would have reconsidered.
This should be a choice.
My store has said they won’t do anything until the courts act.
So I guess I keep showing up for work until I hear otherwise.
I submitted my religious exemption request. I think Jan 4th is it for me. In any case, I will not take it. I’ll figure something else to do. You see, I have a Father and intercessor that takes care of me. Always has, always will.
Now, the boosters will most likely be mandatory. Do you believe in those, as well? Every three months?
Do you have another job?
Best of luck to you, for standing up for principle and health rights.
I’ll wait and see what happens with boosters and why before I make a decision on that.
I am so very sorry for anyone going through this get the vaccine or be fired situation. It is very wrong. I am retired so can’t lose a job but I feel bad for those that do. It is stupid because those who are vaccinated are getting sick and infecting others but they aren’t losing their jobs!
I work in the silicon valley for a big high tech company. So far, my company’s been hush about mandatory jabs. I’ve been working remotely since this entire COVID crap started. If I do go into work on any specific day, I am required to get an onsite test. Fortunately, I’m eligible for retirement being I’m pushing 60.
I don’t have another job yet but I have enough money to float for about four months.
There are some other factors in play that makes a 0 income for 4 months a big help.
Those long testing swabs can penetrate the physical blood/brain barrier if they are not an expert - and I doubt any of those people are.
One option is to try to find another job and take unemployment insurance if it's allowed. Another option is to fire up a sole proprietorship and do gig work. A third option is to just go ahead and retire -- retiring two years before my 70th birthday shouldn't have that much effect on my payout.
I just love the extortion tactics of the Biden Administration.
A judge stepped in today to stop the mandate for now. However, GE approved my religious waiver anyway. So for now I am safe.
My company (DoD contractor) put out the edict in October but they’ve backed way off. I was going to let them fire me, but while they’re still pushing the shot, they’re not threatening anybody’s jobs.
Interesting…
Wishing you all the best and am sorry you, or anyone, is having to chose their health, over their livelihood.
It is stupid because those who are vaccinated are getting sick and infecting others but they aren’t losing their jobs!
Exactly.....great point.
Self employment has a lot of headaches and red tape, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I simply don’t have to put up with that kind of garbage and am thankful for it every day. I’m so sorry for those who do. It makes me sad. I don’t blame anyone for whatever choice they make. It’s up to them, as it should be. Mandating anything is ridiculous, in my opinion.
