I agree, CM. The important thing is finding the line between productive shaming and reveling in self righteousness and then not crossing it.
I'm 47 and started in my field while I was still in high school. I put myself through college while moving forward in that field and now today, have a role towards the very top of that field. I still work 60-70 hours per week because there's still one last rung of the ladder to climb. Every step forward has been through incredibly hard work and a lot of hours. I am by no means rich, but I am very comfortable and will easily retire at 55. Nothing was handed to me. Everything was worked and fought for.
Why do I mention this?
Because my own father (who is more than aware of my professional journey) and I were discussing the mandates around 4 months ago. I was worried about losing my job for refusing to get the jab. He stated that perhaps I deserved to lose my job for putting everyone else at risk.
Going to be really, really difficult to shame him in a productive way when his beloved Fox news continues to air stories like the one on Laura Ingram on Friday night (MIT scientist warning about the jab). But I have been praying about this eventual reality for many months and I hope I do not give in to self righteousness.
Tough love is good, being a complete dick (like they were to us) isn't.
