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.

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.
