So my Fortune 500 Financial Services firm just mandated the jab. No way I'm getting the vax so I need to make a quick decision: I'm eligible for early retirement so do I go down that road (which has heathcare and 401k benefits) or hold out and let them fire me (then take legal action)? The Patriot in me wants to hold out and let them can me but it's hard to turn down the retirement options (for my family's sake). Any pedes out there in a similar situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! WWG1WGA!

If you work for a large company, you can probably take a leave of absence. If you claim for mental health - depression, anxiety, etc - you can get short term disability, and get up to 80% of your current pay for up to 6 months, and your job is protected during this timeframe (unless the employer decides that the job is no longer needed - in that case, it’s illegal for them to hire again for that position within a certain timeframe). After 6 months of STD, your payment gets reduced to 60%. The nice thing about going this route, is that the company PAYS YOU to do nothing. Make them pay for their stance on the vaxx
Be very careful when claiming mental health issues, red flag laws regarding you know what confiscation are real (not constitutionally legal but real).
True, but if they’re already on medications to treat these issues, then it doesn’t really matter. I’m sure this could be applied to all medical conditions, but mental health is one that could potentially go on for 30 months with STD (at least in my state). I’m just trying to offer other solutions to the OP.
One last thought: fuck red flag laws. If they try to take your guns, then I’m sure the individual that made that purchase knows why they bought one in the first place
All valid points, just offering something to think about.
I live in deep blue territory and would not put it past any of the liberals in this area to make fake complaints against g owners. Yes we have them legally for protection but how many of us are really prepared for that knock on the door?
Solid advice.
Thanks! It is indeed a large company and I have though about a LOA. Something to consider but then I'm still trapped in the matrix. I think I'm ready to cut ties all together but will definitely look into it further.
Thank you. I'm not fulfilled at all in my career so I'm actually excited about potentially moving on. Scary as hell, because income drops to 0 (at least temporarily), but exciting at the same time. I work at a "woke" company which has a profile/type of individual/lifestyle they are looking to promote into upper mgmt and I don't fit in that category (at all). Chances of me getting ahead any further are slim so looking at this as an opportunity...
I don't think std's are covered under mental health // kek
Go for early retirement and spend your time fighting this righteous battle
