My employer just told us on Monday that we have to get jabbed. I start my new job in a week. Better pay and hours, and much closer to home. Fuck Joe Biden. Edit: Thank for the well wishes, pedes.

Good luck fren!
It looks like things will work out for the better.
I am anticipating my employer acting likewise in the very near future, likely after the holidays. In their case however, I really don't think they could afford to lose me as an employee. We are running on a skeleton crew this year. A single threat of walking out might dissuade them of their intentions.
I figure I've got enough in my savings at the moment to live comfortably for a year. I'm prepared to walk if they push the vax. I'm planning to quit after my contract is over anyways.
Im a mechanic. Been doing it for 30 years, and we've been running a skeleton crew for awhile now. Ive been looking for an excuse to leave for a couple years now, and this opportunity showed itself at the perfect time. For those of us who are in a jam because of the the current situation, dont give up. KEEP FIGHTING.
Don't know if you are a believer or not, but I've always felt like God or a higher power has guided my every move in life. I've taken leaps of faith in my education and career that in hindsight should not have worked out nearly as well as they did. I figure if I am pushed out of my job, then it is meant to be because God wants me somewhere else. It is comforting knowing that someone out there has my back.
I dont go to church, mainly because I detest organized religion, but I have a personal belief in God.
It’s not the church, it’s usually the people. If you found the right place, it would feel like family. Mine does. Just open yourself up, but keep your faith in God. Looks like he’s taking good care of you in this situation. God Bless.
That's all that matters. Believe in the Lord Jusus Christ and you'll be saved.
Bryson Gray said something similar in one of his livestreams: when he was trying to be your typical rapper success always seemed just out of his reach, when he started down his current path things instead started falling into place like God has been nudging him all along but he wasn't listening before.
Amen.
I got laid off from a year-long job in 1987. I had been praying about starting my own business. When they gave me the news, I told my former boss that I considered it "The Divine Boot." I started my own firm and never looked back, at one point having a role doing peer review over their work!
Trust in the Lord - His promises are true.
Glad it worked out better for you! Happy to hear some people standing up & finding a better working environment.
My friend gave in, got the jab and is not happy about it. She waited till the last day that her job gave employees or they would be fired. And they did lay off hundreds that day that didn't get the jab. I told her when they came out with the mandates that maybe this is the chance to start somewhere new for her, somewhere they appreciate the job she does & treats her with respect. She did search for a new job, and I mean she makes good money at her job but she didn't want the shot, she applied even at the post office delivering mail, but she never heard from them. She did get a call from one company for a similar job that she is doing now that told her she was being underpaid at her work, but they never offered her a job. With her car in the shop, and don't know what type of bills she has, but she felt she was backed into a corner with no way to support herself, she felt pressured and forced. She's upset and praying that something stops the mandates before they demand her get the second shot. Our state is weakly fighting it but it seems the only thing in the bill is for employers to consider religious or medical exemptions. Her company already refused religious exemptions, and she doesn't have any medical reasons, now after people got the first shot, how can they possibly even put in a religious exemption that they would except?
I’m kind of in the same situation. My company said get the jab by the 14th or be put on unpaid leave. I’m working on writing my religious exemption now. It’s so damn stressful- but I’m not getting the shot no matter what
Companies are not authorized to refuse religious exemptions. They are fancying a lawsuit if they fire anyone who is asking for reasonable accommodation.
Well this company supposedly did, they said it on the local news.
Oh, they accept that you have deeply held religious reasons, but then claim that to accommodate you will put undue hardship on the agency.
Happened to me, but this just so happens within a couple months of my reaching the age when I can collect my pension. So I’m retired as of end of next week.
Right on, fren
Congratulations for standing up to the evil! So happy that it worked out even better for you u/InsanityRules! Blessings for your future.
