And in another two weeks, I’m sure they will start requiring the vaccine all together. It seems to be on a two week schedule that they progress their vaccine related requirements.
I will leave as much as I don’t want to and it will ruin my career that I have built. I’m young and I’ve dedicated the last 8 years of my life to my career with this company.
Please keep those of us who work for others in your thoughts. It’s very real and it’s very scary. We are going to lose everything we’ve built for this.
It’s been a rough morning.
It looks like they are trying to gauge who the majority are, vaxed or unvaxed, then determine if they will mandate it. No matter what, stand your ground. Companies need employees. This is a game of chicken. Never stand down.
On a side note, people change careers all the time, don't feel like you are ruining your career if you walk away. I started a very successful business in my mid 20's and regardless of my success and that I had the market cornered in my area, I walked away simply because I wanted to readjust my life goals since I had kids and wanted to spend more time with them. So at 40 I took a huge risk, closed my business to the shock of everyone i knew, and started over in a different industry, and now a few years later, i'm making even more money and I get to do it at home because I built this business around the idea of working online from anywhere. So I guess what I'm saying is, don't be afraid to make a big change in career to suit your life standards. Don't be afraid to walk away when it no longer aligns with your goals or beliefs. Don't be afraid to put your life and your health in front of your job. When one door closes, another opens.
^^This. But don't be afraid (I know, it is easier said than done). This IS a game of chicken and you will be made whole in the end. Have consolation knowing that you are doing the right thing. It is looking dark for you right now, but you are here because you know how it will end. Don't quit. Stay the course. Prayers with you.
