I am a healthcare worker in the IT field, 100% remote. CMS mandated the vax and my hospital told me on thanksgiving eve that we would be terminated in December if no vax or approved exemption. It gets shut down temporarily then upheld in court for CMS hospitals only. After the “dark winter”, the day after spring starts everything starts to go away. Just yesterday they “re reviewed” my previously denied exemption and approved it and I can now go back to work. Was it all methodical to force as many as they could through scare tactics all this time knowing they wouldn’t go through with it?

My husband works for a federal contractor. They threatened everybody in multiple ways to get the shot. He refused to get it. He decided to ride it out and lose his job if necessary. Fast-forward a few months, and he's the only one who didn't get the shot, and he's still got his job and the threats are suddenly gone. Oh, and everybody on his job site got the coof in January, except my husband, the one guy who didn't get vaxxed.
They knew that people would panic and cave over the fear of losing their jobs. Absolutely disgusting.
The same happened to me. I even had an HR person tell me that the company may choose to let me go anyway even though the mandate kept getting delayed. I almost laughed in her face. I'm in a critical position, and it would take months to train a replacement. Go ahead, fire me. I'll have another job by Monday and you will no longer be able to provide a contracted service to your Federal customer. I double dare you to fire me.
This was the same tactic used all over and many of my friends caved quickly. I'm like your husband, the only one that didn't get it at work, and since I won't wear a mask, I get dirty looks and mean comments from coworkers. I tried to tell them "I'm here to help" but they are still too brainwashed to shut the TV off and ask their own questions.
I hope your husband doesn't get any backlash. I'm not welcome in the office anymore and was threatened again by HR to wear my mask whenever the local "positivity rates" are deemed too high.
They did the same thing at Microsoft. Just a week before they opened up they told everyone they had to get vaxed or the badge access would be cut off.
No more discussion about the vax.
It is sickening. My best friend who is a massage therapist was considered a “health care worker” under Jay Inslee’s mandate. Him and his wife who was also facing a jab mandate couldn’t both afford to lose their jobs at the same time so he got the jab so his wife could get a new job.
My friend probably got lucky though. He felt nothing from the jabs other then the soreness from the injection. No sickness or anything. I think he got one of the saline lots.
Me and my husband were in the same boat. Both medical workers, both mandated to get the shot. Thank goodness our religious exemption was approved and we held fast in not getting it! Losing both of our jobs would have royally sucked!
Yeah fuck them. I resigned. I was so disgusted after holding the line. I threw the truth at my CEO and bailed. Let it all burn.
