They told me to wear my mask or go home. I told them to make it formal and terminate me. They sent me home and said HR will contact me. Before I was out of the parking lot the GM called and said HR will allow a medical exemption. I can't go back. They will nit pick until they can make a case for termination or push me until I leave. Working something less stressful out now.

I agree but am able to transfer to the corporate location that ironically doesn't require masks. I'm very modest but kind of a big deal. 3 directors are already trying to decide who gets me. As far as the masks Nazis. Corporate HR is going to visit the location. Probably trying to figure out why I'm willing to add 200 miles to my daily commute.
‘I’m very modest, but kind of a big deal’ ??
I know it sounds stupid but I always try to give credit to others and keep a low profile. I do high quality work on very luxurious jets. I transfered to my current location only 20 miles from home after we purchased it. Many did not like to see me go. And they are very excited I'm coming back. Still as humble as ever but didn't feel the need to bore someone with the long explanation. Glad you got a laugh though. Take care.
That shit is funny?
Oh, I know one of those
I see a Vogue cover coming soon.
True talent is a big deal.
Few put their integrity into their work. Those who do, lead and inspire others by simply doing what they do. They are the most valuable asset a company can hope for
Thank you. You get it
Ron Burgundy, is that you?
Well if you were a man, I’d punch you. Punch you right in the mouth.
Makes me think of that Tom MacDonald quote:
"... I've got a big big ego // and a big d*ck too!"
Its amazing how much time and resources HR will waste on new training or "visiting" other businesses to learn new secrets to make their company's employees more miserable.
No joke. Its much cheaper and better for morale to keep the employees that you have, versus trying to find new ones that might not do the job right.
But HR was never known to be smart.
Ot lying its really hard to find people.
Well played! Hopefully others there will follow your lead and if you decide to chuck it all you'll probably add 20 years to your life.
And "Corinthian leather" :)

Start a movement, just like in that Arlo Guthrie song.
Dont quit. Thata a bad move. You leave money on the table if you quit.
Exactly. Make them fire you. Never quit in a situation like this.
Care to layout the upside of being fired? I may be about to enter a similar situation at my office.
Unemployment benefits, possible wrongful termination suit
Usually severance (which is usually offered with the agreement not to sue). There is also a medical cobra requirement i think and potentially some local jurisdiction rules (e.g. I think California has a bunch of employee protection laws).
Make sure your state doesn't do At-Will Employment. They can fire you for no reason (unless you can prove it violates discrimination laws)
At-will employment is not absolute, and it certainly doesn't allow constitutional violations. E.g. - suppose an employer in a at-will state fired someone for being black...
That's why I said what I did about discrimination....
Medical perhaps?
Isn't ADA included in discrimination ist?
ADA dont cover masks, at least to the two layers I talked to
Even still, many employers will still offer severance to avoid the hassle or reputational harm of a lawsuit. It's far easier to pay severance. However, the ideal scenario (for the employer) is for the employee to just quit outright.
Have someone who is an employment lawyer for the employee side review the package before you agree to anything.
Just did it at a post office in Austin, government bldg and employees....no one said a thing to me and I was the only one not wearing a mask, was inside for probably 10-15mins with 10-15 other folks...bet some of them left and do the same at their next stop...got to be an example and it’ll catch fire quickly
I'm in SoCal and have NEVER worn a mask except when flying, and I can absolutely say that the tide has turned, because now I get positive comments from people about not wearing a mask. Lately, on a daily basis I notice people remove their mask after seeing me without mine. It's like most people don't want to wear them, but nobody wants to be the first person on the dance floor... It only takes one person to enact change.
I can only shake my head and feel my eyes mist up as I jealously read your comment.
Was shat on by my manager today cause the two youngest teachers at my academy are scared of passing me in the hallway cause I don't wear a mask when going to the bathroom. Told her that they are grown ups, if the have a problem they can speak to me themselves. My health is more important to me than their insecurities.
Good for you!
Make Austin NORMAL again!
I live in a purple, open carry state. My 40 cal S&W sidearm identifies as my mask.
Make sure you do it again tomorrow and see!
True COURAGE
Good for YOU!
It’s finally came to this for me too. Working on a new endeavor for the future. ???
If you can show proof that people in the workplace have been failing to follow the mask directive by pulling it down below their noses you can doubly screw them for targeting you for "not wearing" the mask, when other employees were technically not wearing their muzzles either.
Chad status earned.
Nicely done.
Make them work for it and enjoy giving them hell!
Stand your ground!!!!!
Our church is finally making masks "optional". All these months of empty pews and no doubt empty collection plates must be taking a toll. I can't tell you how many people (besides my husband and me) haven't been going to services while they've required masks. Hang in there!
I refuse to attend any church that did not stand up to the evil that is Covid.
Same. Found a Catholic traditional Latin mass parish and never looked back. No masks. No cucking to the state. 90% of the congregation does not wear a mask. The people are anti-communist, pro-big family and based. I love it.
Me too! It's small, but not one person wears a mask. They even held a formal dinner (cooked by the nuns) and dance back in January in locked down tight Michigan! The courage is inspiring. My wife doesn't know what to think about the Latin, however, and why we have to drive 50 miles to get there.
Tell her the Latin liturgy can't be changed by the NWO pawns. Dead language.
I like that! Thanks.
Our church has a few people who are very elderly and sick and have decided to not come, even with masks. About a third of the church is staying away because of the mask mandate and probably another third has decided that since churches were scared of a virus for seven months and refused to open and made us watch on him preach on FB, then why get up and go to all the trouble to come anymore?
Or perhaps they decided that the pastor/church are cowards for closing the church and/or caving in to mask-idol worship, and are looking for churches that put God first. I've been praying at home and driving 45 minutes to a church with the guts to put their faith to the test against the mandates of fear. Rant over. I'm disgusted with masked-up churches. (I'm sympathetic to those who are afraid, but I think a pastor who wears a mask is neglecting their duty, like a fireman who won't cook because of the flames.)
With you 100% on this. I drive a little further than you for the same reason. I have lost all respect for the leaders of the local churches, so it's doubtful I will ever return.
Peace of mind is worth everything.
HERO!
Sue the F out of them here are some resources https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.org/https://www.thehealthyamerican.org/documents
Good, we all need to sack up and stand up as Americans. Fuck these damn tyrants. Fuck your mask, fuck your jab.
Big balls post of the day. Props to you sir!
HOLD THE FUCKING LINE PEDE! Get back in there and inspire the betas to become alphas!
Fuck that. Don’t quit. Walk in the place like the biggest swinging dick on the planet. Fuck their masks and fuck their bullshit. Make them fire you for not wearing a mask, make them come up with a reason to fire you. Make their lives miserable. They want you to go away quietly.
Of theybare giving you a mask exemption they'll not be able to term you. Their recognition of it will hammer them.
You are a person of integrity!!
God bless you that was courageous...
Good job.
Hell, don't leave now! Go back. Be a leader. Drop subtle hints about medical discrimination, constitutional rights, lawyers on retainer, etc... They won't want to touch you.
Fight the clown world my friend
I'm in Florida and I've never worn a mask since this coof started. I've never had the swab test either. Florida is FREE.
Thank you for sharing! So few lack the courage or means to do this. Maybe others reading will be encouraged and do the same.
Good on you, OP. I'll be praying a bigger and better opportunity comes out of this situation.
What does "laxed" mean?
He meant "lax"
I thought he was referring to taking laxatives!
Go here https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.org/. I believe they can provide help.
Go back and MAKE THEM FIRE YOU. Don't cuck out
Telling them to fire me instead of putting on a mask is a stretch if your suggesting I cucked out. I want the transfer. The mask was just the final staw. Corporate is now aware of the discrepency in the satelite location in regards to the standard set by corporate. Because of what I did all my coworkers may see relief finally.
I work for a very small private Inc. Less than a dozen full timers. I'm salary and paid well. I could not replace this job easily. But I'm being shamed over it. Was told I am selfish. Also told that if I don't get vaxxed, EVERYONE will have to continue wearing masks. Considering J&J. Also considering counterfeiting a vax certificate. Cuz fuk dem kids.
J&J was rejected by fake news so it might be safe. Or not
LOL yeah. And from what I understand, the only one that is not mRNA...?
Point out to them that the "vax" manufacturers state that the experimental injection does NOT prevent you from being infected and does NOT prevent you from passing it on. Now who is being selfish?
Thanks, but, I don't think they care. I've repeatedly said, "Um, if you are all vaxxed, what's the problem?"
