Looks like my company I have worked for 2 years now helping them generate revenue is going to give me a deadline Nov 30th to provide HR proof of vaccination. Looks like Biden is going to get me unemployed just in time for Christmas. Wow what a great fucking president, what a fucking ass hole prick getting a bunch of people fired a month before Christmas. No wonder people hate his fucking guts. I'm just going to refuse and they're going to have to fire me, furlough me, I don't give a shit, I'll still see them in court.. bet on it.

I had a lengthy conversation with a lawyer about this. If it's a private company and they don't offer you religious or medical exemption options (I hate even saying that, it's a right, not an 'option'), then there's a civil case I believe that can be played out. I'm in the middle of a religious exemption myself. It's been like a week since I submitted it so I'm kind of just anxiously sitting here waiting to see if I'm doing all this work for nothing or if I can keep my job. Still sucks man, I'm sorry to see it because I know what it feels like.
You should not have submitted a request. The company has ZERO right to decide what your religious practices are and are not. They WILL grant your exemption or face the consequences.
I told my place my religious beliefs are a born right guaranteed by the Constitution and a team of company lawyers has no right to make those decisions. My direct supervisor doesn’t want to lose me and was pushing for me to do the exemption. I told her I’m not playing their games.
Good. Stand your ground, fren.
Interesting choice.
Consider, then, filing the exemption as an opportunity to witness, not as a plea to hateful atheists to judge whether your faith is true enough for them.
I've read some who assert that the exemption acknowledges their right to impose a mandate and to judge your faith. I understand their approach, and I disagree. IMO it's like reacting to a weapon pointed at you. Dealing with the fact of the weapon doesn't mean you agree with the assailant's right to threaten you.
Do as the Spirit leads you; that's just my 2 cents.
Don't submit a 'request' for a religious exemption, submit your 'claim' for your constitutionally guaranteed religious exemption.
Never requested… invoked it
Ask them if fraud and misrepresentation is applicable.
