Jumping Ship?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I work in the federal gov't. One of my duties is to review and sign off on offboarding requests. It's not unusual to go through periods where there are sporatic large numbers of people clearing. Usually students rotating out. But over the last few days these offboardings have been almost non-stop. Sh!tloads of people leaving, and not just students. Professionals, credentialed, non-credentialed, steady stream. Can't help but wonder if many aren't a result of the unconstitutional jab mandate?
My company also put out a statement today. The EO covering federal contractors does not identify specific safety protocols at this point. Instead, a federal task force will issue guidance by September 24th.
I think my company's leadership knows they will lose in the long run if they have to mandate vaccines. My department is stretched thin and losing 10-25% of our workers at once would be devastating. The people who would be forced to make up the labor would be overworked and they would quit too. The chain-reaction would result in losing contracts for failure to perform.
I'm more worried about the bigger impact these EOs will have on the country and the economy. For example, TSA rely on contractors to service their equipment. If their equipment is broken, their screening times go way up. If air travel becomes unreasonable due to being unable to get through airport screening, a lot of other jobs will be impacted. Many other industries will have similar impacts if these EOs result in people being forced out of work.
As far as I can tell, Biden is pulling the wrong block on the Jenga tower of America. It is all about to come crashing down.
