If so, did you get vaccinated or quit and/or get fired, or did you get the shot?

Mine came out and said to stand by, but their current position is that remote workers are unaffected, if you choose to come into the office you need to be vaxxed or have a very recent negative test.

They tried bribing us with $400 but only if 80% or more got it by 09/30.

Haven't heard anything since that deadline passed.

Fortune 8 company (bounces between top 6 and top 8)


Corporate came out yesterday, mandating that all employees that work in public--whether in offices, outside facilities, or even going to the local warehouse from their home office--will require the vax.  Per the email I received from our #2 man, 100% telecommuters (myself included) are exempt.


20 minutes later, I got a nasty-gram email from corporate telling me I had to fill out an exemption request because I had been identified as not vaccinated and not planning to.  I filled out the exemption and I had to sit through a 30 minute Covid19 vaccination overview that was pure propaganda and told to respond if you've changed your mind or not.  (I haven't)



Today, corporate announced that they are going to mandate that everyone will get the vaccine or be terminated because due to our government contracts, we fall under FJBs illegal decree that all federal contractors must be vaccinated.


I am fully expecting to be fired by/before 1 December.  




ETA:  Got word from my director 10/11 that I'm in good company.  More than 1/3 of our department has refused the vaccines.  What's funny (to me) is that the 1/3 are almost exclusively the productive ones who do the heavy lifting for the rest of the team.

Cutting us loose is going to hurt the company in ways that they absolutely do not anticipate.




ETA:  Holy Shit!  My religious exemption was approved!!  My director called at 0700 to tell me the good news--and candidly told me that she pushed for ALL of her people's exemption requests to be approved.  Talk about a relief.  I was prepared to walk away from a $100K job over this.

I'm in a unique position. Parent company is in Colorado. They have mandated the vaccination. My workplace is in Montana, which has passed a state law saying the vaccine can't be mandated. As of now, they are not enforcing the mandate here because of the state law. I don't know what will happen if OSHA ever writes or tries to enforce the regulation that our demented "President" wants. I'm hoping OSHA never writes the reg, because they know it won't pass legal muster. I guess I will cross that bridge when the time comes.

I assume I am going to fall into this trap at some point soon. Crossing my fingers that OSHA rules give me some out, or that it never materializes. I really don’t want to contend with losing my career over this nonsense. That we are even discussing it is a shame for America.

I'm in the final running for a big improvement in job with a foreign HQ company and I have no idea where its going.  Its a 50% raise and the type of job I want to do compared to MSP job I have now.  But instead of being totally remote I will be partially in the office, and may have to travel every now and then.  So I'm kind of torn since its a much bigger company that I work for now which has not mandated anything and neither has this new one as far as I have been told.  

I'm not fat with the beetus and hypertension.  I'm 48 and exercise regularly.  

Watch I'll get the new job then be out of work in 3 weeks.

Work for state owned hospital system (in admin)

Currently my state has a law forbidding vaccine as a condition of employment for state employees.

I'm sure our "leaders" would love to force it, but for now, they can't due to state law.

If they get an exemption from that law, then I'll file a religious exemption.  If that is not honored, they will fire me and I will sue.

No mandate yet, but something like 80% of our work is federal contracts and our C-suite seems to be hardcore leftists. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need a new job in the next month or two if things keep going down the same course.

What about opm? We haven't heard anything and the sheep are bleating about how they already have the shot. I had Chinese biological warfare experience already. Messed up my blood pressure and have to fight not to pass out several times a day. Asked my cardiologist if she would write a medical exemption so I will live to see Thanksgiving. Hopefully she will and features will leave me alone. 2 years until retirement and the communist party steals the election and burning down the country. Tyrants are ahole.

State employee.

I quit. Last day is tomorrow. Was looking at getting out of management so forcing me to get vaxxed made it easy for me to leave.

Employer wanted me to fill out online portal awhile ago telling them my vax status. I never responded so they mandated weekly testing for me three weeks ago. Missed 1 week due to vacation and gota counseling letter from HR today.

Job hunting is odd right now. Wish employers stated clearly if vax was required or not and if weekly testing was okay.

I wanted to see how far I could take it with not complying but wife requested I not get fired. So here we are.

Mandate coming. No date indicated yet as it depends on contract implementation.

Was told it won’t matter if you work from home, even 100%. All subcontractors too. Will apply for medical exemption once known.

Updated resume earlier this week, looking for roles that don’t have federal tentacles. I like my job but my life is worth more.

Nothing yet but we have over 100 people and get federal funding for some projects so I'm sure it's coming. I think they're waiting until OSHA posts their rules or until winter is over and they don't  need all hands on deck.

Nothing from the wife's employer yet either but it's a multi state business with thousands of employees and management that is a little left leaning so it'll probably be coming there also.

If we both lose our jobs I'm thinking a change of scenery might be in order. Talking about South Dakota or maybe Western Kansas

Fortune 25 company. If we are in the office, must be fully vaccinated.

I live in an area where there is no office and I’m in sales. Can’t meet with customers or go to company events if not taking the jab.

Had call for our region last week and VP said they are waiting to get OSHA guidelines. I anticipate I’ll be looking for a new job

The only mandate that exists is the Federal Employee.  The companies with over a 100 people must vaccinate or test does not exist, it has not been submitted as an EO.

There is a second mandate.  EO 14042.

That is for any federal contractor or subcontractor.  Also includes employees who work from home 100% of the time or employees in the same company, even if they never touch federal business lines.  No testing option.

Insurance surcharge ($100 a month) only....subject to change of course. Deadline of December 13; personally I think they are just trying to gauge how many will comply before a full on mandate (approx. 50% so far).

You may be vaccinated or unvaccinated. If you show proof of vaccination you will be fired. If you pressure anyone regarding vaccination you will be fired.

Poll fail
One option should be
Employer mandate and not getting vaxed as they offer the option for weekly testing.
Still hanging in there. Will see how long this goes before they change it again and only allow exemptions.
The whole thing is silly. I need to get tested weekly because I am unvaxed.  What does this prove when over 50% of their workforce is vaxed and can still come to work with potential covid.  It’s just their way of sticking it to us who believe in freedom of choice
So yep, I choose weekly testing.

I suspect they'll do it some time around March. Losing 5 - 20% of the workforce this time of year would be bad. Not just for The Company but for the Company's clients.

The fire department I worked for did. I put in my retirement paperwork a few days later and 9/30/21 was my final day. The state mandate for healthcare workers (all personnel are EMT-Ps) allowed for the option of weekly testing instead but our board decided to require the $hot for "our own good". I wasn't alone either, pretty much everyone with enough time in to be vested in the pension system left.

My side gig hasn't said a word about it. They have thousands of employees nationwide so they fall under President Poopy Pants mandate. I figure they'll cave as soon as OSHA sends them a stern letter but I have no problems with quitting there either.

Just got hit this morning with the "Vax by 12/3 or else" email.

Gonna file a medical exemption. If that doesn't take, we'll see what "or else" means. Retirement is my guess.
