When my firm was pushing for everyone to put their vax status in a database on anticipation of the OSHA BS (late October), one of the senior managers sent around an email asking people to rethink going to smaller firms because 'the mandates are just going to continue to go down to 50 employees, 15, etc. Just watch the TV and learn!' (MAJOR eyeroll). It was very condescending but he is also obviously deeply asleep. There was a lot of pushback. I do not know what happened because I refused to even open the portal and no one has contacted me about that, even thoughit was due 10/25. (I must say I would love to shove it back in his face the court decision to stay the Resident's OSHA push to get private business to do their dirty work, but I digress...)
Nearly all senior management is in NY/Boston. I would have allowed that because NY was a shitshow early on that some of the decisions being made were fear based. But then yesterday, I opened an email that was related to our open enrollment/benefits. In 2022, there will be a $100 surcharge for the unvaxxed. The FAQ indicates they would consider dropping once 95% of the employees are vaxxed for our safety because of costs associated with CV. What a bunch of BS. 80% of the company is now working from home even though we have 100+ locations across the country. As leases come up for the smaller spaces, they just aren't renewing. It is laughable. I am sure even more people are going to start jumping ship and there is a tremendous talent war going on right now.
My last firm was a small company of about 40. There was a year where there were a couple of employees who had serious health issues - major cancer treatments and heart issues. That actually did affect rates the next year. My current firm has about 2500 - again 80% working at home. Bunch of fucking cowards...yes, people may leave for vax policy but in reality, they are leaving because when you treat people with disrespect, they tend to react poorly but your heads are too far up your asses to see that. Reap what you sow...
I would have been more upset, but on Monday I accepted a new job. Texas firm. No vax BS. I am thrilled.
Congrats on the new position. I am also on the prowl for new employment with a "based" company culture. I only fear what may seem like a good move may come back to bite me.
Thx! And I know what you mean aboutthings comingback to bite you. But even without the CV BS, it was time for me to go. And it is a liberating feeling.
I was just thinking. I may just drop a little review on Glassdoor about their policies. Make it very professional. (I wonder if I would get banned?) But, digital battlefield, right?

Hell yes you should. May very well help another make an informed decision.
