Given how little control KP actually seems to have over their employees, a lot of the people I've talked to about it are of the mind that they'll balk and do nothing because they don't want the negativemedia attention. I think a lot of us are playing the waiting game for now.
I'm getting a religious exemption but I'm not going to answer them either until they actually come after me. Do you know of a lot of people who are like us? Supposedly they sent that email to 800 people who didn't submit to have HR pour over their medical records.
I can't speak for everyone, but in my building, at least, there's been a lot of "fuck that noise" going on. They kept us shortstaffed all through 2020, tried to deny people PTO who tested positive, tried to screw us out of our yearly bonus and then acted like they were generous gods for backing down in the face of all the outcry, and have let the resident BLM/Antifa morons run wild.
Suffice to say, the lack of morale is rampant in just about every department right now. If they fire even a handful of us, they won't be able to meet patient needs. And thanks to their middle management utterly fucking the hiring process up, it'll take months to find replacements.
Certainly the staffing would take a huge hit if we all stayed strong and they actually fired us. So yeah, hopefully they back off. But firing us could coincide with another lockdown come this fall which would again push us to virtual visits, increased testing to block patients from coming in, blocking of half the parking lot, etc.
True. Though I don't think the next lockdown will be taken nearly as seriously. They had diminishing returns all throughout 2020 until you couldn't even tell Inslee had rolled us back near the end.
People stopped being as fearful and Kaiser wanted their money.
Regardless, I'll probably end up doing the same as you - waiting to see if they come at me after the deadline and then presenting a religious exemption. Nice to see I'm not alone on here.
