My brother and two closest friends (i was best man at both of their weddings) are thinking about caving. Two work at Boeing, one at another major global corp. All three are quickly reacting that they’re going to have to pick their poison. I understand as I faced the same until today.. I accepted a position with a small business making the same as I was at My prior employer.
So outside of encouraging them to hold out and look for jobs it’s scares me that there are truly way more hold outs abandoning ship than expected.
Anyone else hearing the same from friends/family as more bit corp is jumping on board for this BS tyranny. Any advice? At the end of the day I’ll respect all three for doing what they have to do take care of their families.. but I’m devastated how quickly they are assuming they’re just going to have to go ahead and get the jabs.
My son was in the same situation...mechanical engineer working for a company that has government contracts. He had told me he would probably get the jab. I was heartbroken, preparing for the worst. I constantly send him stuff that I didn't think he read. His date is also Dec. 8. I recently asked if he got the jab yet so I could give him stuff to help but he said there is a group that are trying to get exemptions. He actually put out some resumes and it looks like he has had his eyes opened to reality. He said today that they seem to be granting the exemptions. I hate that he will be tested each week but at least it seems that there were people influencing him to avoid the jab. He is in his 30's with 2 kids and I just wanted him to have a future with his family. This was weighing heavily on my heart so I am very grateful for answered prayer. We know 2 young people with families that were killed by the vax so it is hard to ignore what is happening.
Glad to hear that they are getting exemptions. The dreaded email finally came to my work. I haven't heard if any exemptions have been approved. Part of me fears they just want the requests so they can plan for layoffs.
