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.

My dad was an engineer and a guy he worked with moved to TX from NY. After a few months the guy went to my dad and told him he felt like people weren’t responding to him positively. My dads told him he needed to work on his delivery bc people speak differently to each other in TX. A month later the guy thanked my dad. Some cultural differences are harder than you think to change!
People in NY are far more direct. I appreciate it immensely as there’s no time wasted hanging on every single word waiting for southerners to finally reach the effin point.
Makes me sweat just thinking about it.
Agreed! You usually know where you stand!
My mom (grew up in NJ close to NY) is still frustrated that people in Utah talk "slow" & just go with the flow instead of getting loud & emotional when they are upset.
She also laughs about her inability to adjust better after 40+ years. At least she recognizes it.
I grew up in NOLA, TX, and live in NJ (for now). I used to get my feelings hurt in NJ because of how I perceived people being rude. Now I understand the culture better and it doesn’t bother me. My best friends from Brooklyn so I totally know the emotional and loud when upset! Kek! On the flip side, she now drives a Fordf150, has a Bible and dirt in her car, and says y’all! Assimilating isn’t always easy but being aware is critical.
Fully agreed fren!
Yeah but that's a farcry from this:
We all recognize that fleeing liberals drag down the areas where they move to, but the implication is that OP is a liberal who caused NYC to become what it is and to not spread his liberal policies in red states, when we're on a board full of based-thinking people here at GAW
I agree and am sure OP is based or he wouldn’t be here. At the same time, I watched people move to NOLA and begin demanding to rip down statues and change street names bc they were offended. They even changed Dixie beer (named after the original money transaction) bc it now offended them. Some of us can be sensitive kek! Now I have to drink a corona with my poboy!
