They sent out an email a couple of months ago directing us to the e-forms we must complete to prove we have had two jabs. This was supposed to have been done by Dec. 8th. The TN legislature passed a law making mandates illegal BUT universities can apply for an exemption if they get federal money and that money will be put in danger unless they comply. Got an email from the university saying they would be applying for the exemption. I'm not the recipient of any federal grants, but the Biden administration dictates that anyone working in the SAME BUILDING with a federal contractor must also be vaccinated.
My work colleagues so not know my politics. I eat lunch with them in the university dining hall, and let me tell you: THEY HATE US. They think we are the dumbest, most racist group of scum that has ever existed. They are all for putting people who refuse the vaxx in internment camps.
So I'm waiting for when I get the next email with a new deadline. I will wait until the day of the deadline and put in for a religious exemption. I fully expect to get fired by stealth. I have been working on a year contract that gets renewed every August for the past 11 years. If I have to put in for the religious exemption before August, then I am expecting them to simply not renew my contract (and there won't be anything I can do about it).
Plan B is to work for the post office once the unemployment runs out. TN passed a law that you cannot be denied unemployment if you lose your job over the jab.
In my mind, I am preparing to be applying for post office jobs come August.
The worst of them should begin having "accidents", before they obtain the power to put us in the camps. Preemptive self-defense is self-preservation.
I worked under contract in a different state system. I’ve been retired for a few years now, so I don’t recall all the details of the “contract” or the rules for termination. But generally they couldn’t just terminate me on the spot unless it was for a gross disciplinary violation. If they didn’t like my performance they had to justify it with a bad performance report and not renew the contract. The same went for lack of funding. Also, I wasn’t eligible for UI if the contract expired.
