This sounds like BS to me. While they may be trying to coerce employees into getting the vax, any memorialization of a policy like this in writing, would lead to an instant lawsuit.
It's like a whole bunch of you folk have never worked in a big box store before.
This policy would absolutely never be written down anywhere, it would just be the policy. Management tells one person, it spreads.
I'd cock an eye over in that particular store's chain of command and sleep who sits up there. Sure, there's GM's and corporate checklist box checkers, but more often than not, so long as the branding is good and right, the Big Dogs of that store get to run their store.
The Lowe's tweet is corporate brand protection.
Lowes and similar BB stores are not franchised. They have to follow policy as set by corporate. Sure, they may have some latitude when it comes to creating/enforcing (minor) policies, but that does not exonerate corporate, or set-up a hold harmless situation for illegal policy enforcement, and corporate will still be liable. Yes, the tweet is brand protection, but Lowe's corporate in Charlotte will be liable for what is done in Boise as much as Atlanta.
Of course. See: plausible deniability.
On paper, everything should be above the board and dress-right-dress across the nation.
In practice, however, that's where we find all sorts of things can be skewed any which way they see fit, within the bounds of plausible deniability.
