I feel for everyone put in this position. But, I also think if it wasn't for covid, what if something else caused you to lose your job what would you do? I have too many friends freaking out over this, with every right, but at the same time they all knew this time was coming. So why hasn't anyone started looking for another job that doesn't have the mandate? They are out there, many new job boards created too just for this. This is not the end of the road for anyone this is just a hurdle that almost every working class individual hits at one point in their career. My friend is a federal contractor. She is currently applying for jobs and will work 2 until they fire her for not getting the jab. Don't give up, don't lose hope, keep pushing forward. Good luck!
