I already had a close call last winter in the snow, so I bought a 4x4. Winter tires are redundant, costly, reduce my truck's performance, and put me at risk of blowout from the tires not made for my model of vehicle.

Ignoring that my 4x4 can handle the snow even better than a 2wd car, regardless of the tires they have, is irresponsible. The winter tire mandate is dangerous, and it's even more ridiculous to ask my employer to fire me for what kind of tires I have.
