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.
Hi friend, I'm curious how you are doing? Did you workplace push you after you didn't respond? I am in a similar position this week. I don't plan on responding but I'm stressed out about this for sure.
Hi, thanks for checking up on me! They sent repetitive emails but eventually (after many people continued not to respond I assume) they said if you didn’t choose an option, they would just assume you are unvaccinated. Guess they realized they didn’t want to push people. They hesitated on any type of vaccine mandate but I felt like it was coming.. but most recent communications said something about weekly testing for unvaxed. We’ll see, it’s always changing. I get the feeling, it makes you sick to your stomach. If you feel like you have to share your status, go ahead. That’s not the hill to die on though it is violating. But the hill to die on for me is if they try to force me to make a medical choice I don’t want - then I fight back.
Thanks for replying. Yeah you hit the nail on the head, it is making me sick to my stomach. I am planning on ignoring all emails and if my boss presses me I will just say he can refer me to HR. If they force me between disclosing and getting fired... idk I might tell them. There is no way I will take the vax under any circumstances. I have a years worth of savings so luckily I will be OK financially for a little while. Thanks again friend and take care in these dark times.
