My employer sent out an 'anonymous' survey asking all employees for their inoculation status. I have 5 days left to respond.

The survey has 3 options:

• 1: Already got the jab
• 2: Going to get the jab soon
• 3: Not going to get the jab

The office is located in a moderately liberal area in a purple state (60/40 Dem/Rep). It's a large corporation in the finance industry. Most of the employees are highly educated, and therefore more likely to take the shots. But if management fires even 10% of the workforce, it will probably cost them an entire year of profit.

If I don't respond to the survey, management will probably ask my boss to nag me about the survey.

I'm thinking that Option #2 is the safest choice. It's probably best for me to be as vague as possible and drag things out as long as possible. I can keep saying 'I'll get the shot soon...'

Option #3 is probably a bad idea because that could lead to me getting fired quicker than Option #2.

I want to drag the job out as long as possible until or if they decide to fire me. It's an easy, good paying job. My position doesn't seem to be the easiest to replace, but isn't the hardest to replace either.

If I get fired, I have 12+ months until I'm on the street. I would probably start my own business instead of looking for a new company.
