We are having our company meeting today. I am one of the few who always came in to the office every day for almost 2 years.
People have been trickling in all day. I was so excited to see everyone!
HR just sent an email around reminding everyone of the mask policy.
Fuck this...I wanna go home 😞
It takes bravery to stand up for your rights. Your rights are yours; they are inalienable. That word means they can't be taken away. You can only give them away.
You have the right to be at your place of work. It may not be the same level of right as your right to not subject yourself to a medical process (mask), but it is a legal right nonetheless. They do have the legal right to make you go home, but they have to fire you to do it (unless there is some other legal clause in your contract for medical discrimination, which is unlikely). If they fire you, you have the legal right to sue the holy fuck out of them.
It is your choice to take part in that medical experiment (three is no data that supports mask use, the CDC itself says so). It is your choice to not give in to tyranny. It is your right to be Free.
Freedom however, is not free. It can carry a cost of social discrimination and ridicule. It can even carry the cost of death (though that is extremely unlikely in this case).
For me personally, I would not go home, but the choice, as a free person, is yours.
