It has been over a year since COVID-19 vaccines were introduced across the world - and while it has been proven effective against the pandemic, their introduction also prompted serious division in sectors of society, including workplaces, between those who received them and those who didn't.
In a study released by the MyPerfectResume, 66% of its over 900 respondents said they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, which leaves about more than 30% who have yet to take the jabs.
According to the report, 57% of the unvaccinated respondents experienced instances of discrimination in their workplaces.
In the accounts they shared, they said they were blamed when someone got sick, co-workers refused to work next to them, people avoided them and made them wear a mask.
Managers are also not exempted from discriminating their unvaccinated employees, as it turns out, as unvaccinated staff said even their bosses made negative comments about unvaccinated people, with one account saying their boss went as far as calling them ignorant.
Unvaccinated employees said they received a lot of pressure from upper management into getting vaccinated, while being asked to explain why they have not yet taken the jabs.
Some said they were also limited from moving within the office, while some were laid off.
On the other hand, 68% vaccinated employees were treated better.
Meanwhile, another vaccine-related trouble for workplaces came due to the implementation of vaccines. It is another divisive topic for workplaces as employees express agreement or disagreement to them.
According to the respondents, 74% said they would work for an employer with a mandatory vaccination policy, with 68% said they would rather have their employers mandate vaccinations.
But should it be included in the recruitment process?
According to 72% of the respondents, their employers require candidates to include their vaccination status as part of their recruitment policies.
Such recruitment policies include whether it was agreeable to reject candidates if they don't include status on their resume, with 61% agreeing to it.
Some 63% of the respondents said HR should consult with their employees first before they hire unvaccinated staff.
According to 63% of them, rejecting unvaccinated candidates is a type of discrimination.
I wonder if these HR types would go along if, say, 68% of their staff wanted them to discriminate against certain races or religions? Why is discriminating against unvaccinated people so acceptable?
A putrid steaming pile of bullfauci !
No word about natural immunity which probably has the highest effectiveness.
Is it okay for an employer to discriminate based on any health criteria? Is it okay for Diabetic, overweight, or poor eyesight?
Maybe you should include a photo in the recruitment process like they do in Asia so they can see if you are good looking.
Can’d discriminate on medical status right?
Wife works at a nursing home here in rural MO and management accepted pretty much every religious exemption request and the wife's was pretty lamely worded. Of course us crazy rural flyover people also tossed the masks in Spring 2020 when it got warm enough to get sweaty under them and sent the kids back to school in Fall 2020, no masks, no distancing.
[sarc] It's a wonder we're not all dead. [/sarc]
LIES. I stopped reading there.
Who wrote this?
Is this an English translation?
Really poor.
My company also does not disclose those who got the exemptions so I really appreciate them for that. We have had no issues whatsoever with the unvaccinated (of which I am one).
Nobody asks. Nobody knows.
As for masks, all of us in the office have ignored the mandates. I can't remember the last time anybody in my office had a mask on.
This article started off on the wrong foot.
Didn’t need to read any further.
Breakdown of the civil workplace. So entertaining.
I work for a big tech company. Much of our workforce is remote. Lately the management teams have been coordinating team meetings at local offices including travel, but the company requires you provide proof of vaccination or have an accommodation. If you are granted an accommodation, which is rare, you have to wear a mask and provide proof of a negative test in the last 7 days.
It’s embarrassing having to demur on questions from peers on why I’m not going to gatherings. My health status is not the company’s business, and I refuse to give them anything related to it. It’s a constant point of anxiety for me, and I miss my team.
I just tell people that I am a charter member of the unvaccinated “control group” to prove that the so called vaccines were poison. They don’t know how to respond.
