At least some Massachusetts state employees who were fired after refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19, under Gov. Charlie Baker’s sweeping executive order last year, are being offered their jobs back.

In two separate letters shared with MassLive, former MassDOT employees who were terminated due to the mandate were offered reinstatement to their former positions with “duties and responsibilities” the same as when they left. In the letters, MassDOT Chief Human Resources Officer Matthew Knosp wrote the department was making the offers, in part, because “high levels of immunity and availability of effective COVID-19 prevention and management tools have reduced the risk of medically significant illness and death.”

And not a single enemedia scumbag bothers to ask why these selfish, dangerous, unvaccinated interlopers are being allowed to infect their fellow vaccinated co-workers? Could it be that the the potential death and “pandemic of the unvaccinated” rhetoric of the last two years was just utter bullcrap?

Also, I wonder if any employees who were forced to take the shots to keep their have died unexpectedly. Where do they go to get their lives back?

I’m not a subscriber to the publication, so can’t see the full text. Those fired, whether or not they come back to the employer, should also be given at least double the back pay they have lost, plus an apology for distrupting their lives and causing them distress. Those who come back should get an additional bonus, including whatever promotions they might have achieved, had they not been booted out for not getting vaccinated.

Translation: They screwed up and are now severely short-staffed.

They wouldn’t do this if they didn’t absolutely have to or the office would collapse into chaos.

Also begs the question ?

If Mass. are short-staffed now.

How many of the good-woke staff that took the vaccines, are now dead from it ? Or injured and unable to work ? Or just claiming disability now ?

Their (TPTB) numbers are so jumbled, now, it will be hard to tell, for a while. They know this, though.

Deaths have been misleadingly coded (since onset of china virus, through deadly treatments to jab deaths)...and, they keep playing their shell game.

Figures don’t lie, ultimately, even though liars figure.

Found out their hardest working, most competent employees were conservatives, who I hope tell the state to take a flying leap.

The few that might take the job back are those who would reach their vested pension and then bail or those maxing it out before leaving.

Retention is going to be brutal for the State of Massachusetts and recruiting is going to be far worse. Who would ever take a job at a company or government agency that mandated the Jim Jones Jab and could do so again whenever the Globalists demand it?

These government agencies in particular will be forced to hire high-priced (or underskilled at the same price) consultants because no one will trust government long enough to make a career there.
