Same daughter 6 mos pregnant being forced to vax and doesn’t understand why others aren’t afraid to lose their jobs. She hasn’t got the vax yet (Thank God almighty) and I’m hoping she keeps the faith and doesn’t. I told her the higher ups are playing a losing game of chicken.

My ex wife said 25% at her work (Fed contractor) are not getting it. Here’s copy/paste of her text yesterday:
Most of that 25% are the people that build the cables and such for the power converters. If they all go, the scheduled delivery only gets worse, and it’s already 2 years behind scheduled delivery to the submarines.
My company is also a federal contractor. If 25% of us are let go (likely closer to 40%), the remaining will be working insane hours and will struggle to meet the contract requirements. The real-world impact will be reduced equipment availability for TSA, who will already likely be losing 25-40% of their personnel.
Prepare for airports to be extremely slow at screening passengers and getting flights out. It might not slow down right away. Give it a few months for equipment to break and not be repaired. By the middle of next year, it might not be reasonable for most people to use air travel.
I bet a lot of the workers not getting the shot have lots of vacation time and sick time. Use it to find another job if you can't cash it out. It will only take one disgruntled really mad former employee to disable entire companies. A lot of companies walk employees out as they fire them and immediately disable email and other access. How does a company do that to 25% of their workers? What if the fired are in IT? This is going to get really funny very fast. I admit that I retired in July as a school administrator because I was concerned about vaccine mandates. So many are retiring that I never got the normal retirement packet from the state with instructions. I then rehired part-time with the same school and same job. I did this to enable me to quit if I was told to vaccinate.
People in my position can't take vacation time on a whim. We have to ensure the work load we are leaving for someone else can be taken care of. That's why I have barely taken vacation since I started and have a ton banked. I'm going to finally get some time off in December, which is usually so busy I barely get to celebrate Christmas.
