I work in supply chain and do a lot of traveling for work. The companies I work with just assume that I'm fully vaxxed for some reason and I don't bother saying anything about it.
Today I was at a company that manages supplies for about 25% of hospitals in the US. I was having a conversation with the VP of Marketing for the company and she told me with major delight that they were going to be firing the anti-vaxxers a week from tomorrow. I asked her what percentage of the company that made up, and she said it was around 3% of employees - they employ several hundred thousand people nationwide.
I asked if they had a plan to replace that many people, it was thousands, and she said they have been quietly accepting applications and interviewing people and will be up and running with new hires within about 15 days.
I was kind of shocked by this, she said they'd been given names of people suspected of not being vaxxed weeks ago and were prepared. She said they've also been surveying employees and claim that the majority of them are more than happy that people will be getting cut.
I'm sure the surveying part is a total lie, you'd be clueing in those getting let go. But either way, I thought I'd share what I learned. I also emailed PV to see what they say.
My huge concern is how there has been a plan all along to replace so many people. I was shocked by that part - I know my company didn't even look into that. I know with such a flooded labor market it would be easy to replace people with someone lesser in a second.
Hell, I had an open role last month and got 1200 applications - and about 10% of the people boldly listed they were vaxxed on their resume!
