We knew this was coming. Out of about 50 guys, half got the jab and half of us were against it. Instead of laying off all of us at the same time, they decided to start with the 3 of us that adamantly said no! The others said they would look into it, which bought them some time I guess. There was also an option to apply for religious or medical exemptions. But then you’d have to wear a mask at all times and get tested weekly. I’ll never put a mask on again unless it’s needed from actual harm. And I’m proud to say I never or ever will get tested for a cold. It’s unfortunate, I made good money there and still have a mortgage and other bills to take care of. I think I’m gonna have to leave NY. I realize the states I’d like to go to are probably non union states so I’m not sure what to do. Could use some suggestions frens.

I have a bud who moved down here from Long Island a few years back. He used to do carpentry, but now he's enjoying working for a major firearms manufacturer in Smyrna, GA.
I also know plenty of former NY and NJ folks who got into the north GA area around Hartwell, and they're all in the construction business. Tons of work up there, plus plenty of hunting, fishing, and lake recreation to enjoy.
"No real bagels." That's about the only complaint I've heard from them. They say it smells a lot better. Plus, you can probably sell your home, pay off your mortgage, and buy a house in cash with a few acres attached out there for how much cheaper it is.
