He works in the executive branch and has been told he will face progressive discipline up to and including termination.also told exemptions will be extremely limited. He has served his country for 20 years risking his life most days. Willing to die for his country and now is being told he’s worthless unless he injects himself with poison. Even worse, he feels like everyone else got it and is alone. Are any of the federal employees organizing? There is radio silence in his agency. Even more worse, he was eligible for retirement this February, we took a relocation in June and he now can’t retire until December 2022. I don’t know what to do but I don’t want him to lose his job or get the vaccine.

Having worked in federal HR I can tell you there is a strong motivation on management's part to avoid adverse actions, such a removals, because it opens up the agency to liability via EEO or Merit Systems Protection Board complaints, which they then have to litigate. If it were me I would hold on for as long as possible and then try for a settlement agreement where I agreed to retire on the condition my repayment of relocation costs were waived. In any case I'm pretty sure relocation costs are prorated if you do have to repay them, so the longer he can draw it out the better.
Is he working remotely? If so I would argue there is no NEXUS between getting the jab and performance of his duties.
Thanks this is very helpful. He has to travel for work so it’s very complicated.
