Here we go. My unvaxxed fiancé works for a well known company as a Purchaser. They wont let him travel anymore or go to any vital meetings because he is a "liability". Even if he pays for the travel himself and wears a mask (which he detests but has agreed to do in an effort to do his job well), they still wont allow him to attend. He is the only one in his department of 19 that isn't vaccinated. NOW they have scheduled a meeting with him to discuss his "vaccine hesitancy". He is livid but knows enough to not quit. I am lucky enough to be a subcontractor who works from home so my income will not be effected. But we need his too. He will never get vaccinated. I wish I could help soothe him in some way, he is so agitated this morning about all this crap. Tonight we are going to start printing out materials to study so he is prepared for his upcoming coercion meeting. I hate this shit.

Some advice:
They are going to attempt to get him to agree. Will probably have the vax in the room with them. They will come with a carrot and a stick.
His prep is meaningless. They don't care about his reasons or how well-thought out they are.
He will be fired.
There will be some adjustment, but you will be okay on 1 income for the time being.
Stress and anger can affect your health. Give yourself 5 minutes a day to vent, and then move on to planning a hopeful future.
Let lawyers deal with the wrongful termination case. That's what they get paid for.
He won't be jab slabbed, and that's the important thing.
Don't feel bad for refusing to participate in clown world. It's not your fault, and I believe change is coming soon!
I'm trying to think how this meeting could be anything other than a very cynical and manipulative attempt by managers to crush will to resist and force compliance.. and drawing a blank, based on my experience with companies and the very circle-of-yes-men structure of the upper echelons.
So I fear you are entirely right about this rather bleak set of predictions. In similar one-on-one meetings I have had with CEO level people, in private they concur with my beliefs and feelings on the issue.. but will never let on to the board, other execs etc of any reluctance since it would mean their head on the chopping block as well.. and they have even more financial incentives to tow the company line. At least until people start dropping dead at their desks.
So be it and let the cards fall where they may. Health has to come first, no-one who drops dead of the vaxx or gets maimed or crippled will be able to work either.. and given the choice, being out of work and healthy is my vastly preferable choice.
How bad is it to completely stop paying credit card companies?
