My response was essentially, "I can do it, but we will need to explain why we are going against CDC guidelines or else I see a mass problem on our hands. Can you get that reasoning for me so I can share it?"
A few hours later, the request for the memo was rescinded. Big win in my book.
Exactly. Some may be 'requiring' it out of ignorance of the law (which is actually pretty inexcusable) or they may just be trying to force it on you and hope YOU are ignorant of the law. People seriously need to start suing.
