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?

They thought everyone would obey. When they wouldn't, they quickly ran out of healthcare workers. Oopsies! Suddenly, everyone is "cleared for takeoff."
No coincidences.
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!
The FC mandate started my job search and at the time I left that company in Feb. my HR task to affirm my vax status was still untouched. I also didn't bother with my (automated survey) exit interview.
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.
Yes. Same here in Germany. There will be no mandate, never, but the discussion about it is in the "news" every other day. Everybody rushed to get the clotshot, because, hey, it will be mandated anyhow. It isn't, and it will never be. These fuckers play a very well orchestrated mental game with the normies, it just works. Stupid people win stupid prices.
Normies are treated like idiot cattle because they behave like idiot cattle.
You could display a "Judas Goat" and put a big bright tag on it that informs them that its purpose is to lead them up the ramp to the slaughter cute.
And they will say "oh, that's bad!" and then follow that goat right up the ramp to the slaughter chute.
And all the while, they'll be heckling and pointing at all those not willing or refusing to follow that goat to their deaths.
Exactly what I experience each and every day. It gets boring, and I'm tired.
BUT I WILL HOLD THE FUCKING LINE 'TILL THE END.
Sorry for ranting. I'm in a strange mood.
I sometimes think this is some Sisyphus type punishment for me. Trying to talk to normies Is like rolling a huge rock up a hill and it rolling back down, over and over and over
That’s why in a fucked up way I don’t blame the deep state players for viewing them as cattle. Most people just go the way the wind blows without a second thought.
We have to go through this hell because of their ignorance and arrogance. I will probably enjoy seeing the sheep’s grief and pain more then seeing the deep state players executions. I have been awake my whole adult life though so I have no perspective of what it’s like to be asleep. They piss me off more then the deep state players do because after all this covid bullshit how could you not see it was a blatant fucking lie.
I have both perspectives. I was awake in my late teens, early twens. Read books about the Illuminati, Satanism, I knew some Satanists back then and was disturbed by their believe. Then I joined the military and, guess what? I got vaxxed against all the possible deseases that could face me when being sent wherever they wanted to send me. Well, the only place I went was Bosnia, there were no deseases to be vaxxed against, but hey, just in case we put a shitload of substances into your body...
I fell asleep. 'Till 2 1/2 ys ago. And now everything comes back, but I lost 25-30ys of being awake. Maybe it was the vax, maybe it was my fault, but here I am again. At this point in time.
Don't worry about the years you lost when you fell back asleep. You're wide awake now and holding the line, and that's what matters.
kinda similar for me, didn't dig for many yrs. now i just figure we were primed, ready for the dig of r life
I have had that same thought and felt so guilty about it - "its no wonder they call you useless feeders and want you gone." Then I remind myself that yes they are sheep, but we were put here to be the sheepdogs who watch out for their stupid asses
Yup! My inlaws fell for it with air travel in the states. My mother inlaw just knew something was going to happen to her Dad and she wasn’t going to be able to fly from one state to another w/o the shot b/c it was going to be mandated. So, she and my father inlaw got the shot (I’ve never seen my MIL so sick) and here we are a year later, no shot required to fly within the US, and her father has been just fine. 🙄 I can’t even with peoples logic! My husband and I are the only pure bloods left on his side of the family. 🤦🏼♀️
Same same everywhere.
They took the clotshot to get their "freedom" back. They were never free.
They were allowed to do things, then they weren't, then they got the shot so they'd be allowed to do things they had done before, that's about it.
They don't even know what freedom means.
The health minister of Bavaria, Germany, Holetschek said: "This talk of freedom makes me wince", referring to debates about loosening the mask restrictions. Sick, sick people. And the sheep will follow.
Sorry, German, and paywall, but the headline gives you the idea...

The fucking media needs to be destroyed. Immediately. Enemy of the people.
Oh, I’m of the strong belief that 99% of the evil in this world couldn’t be accomplished w/o the media. If every journalist was a person of character and moral integrity and they reported cold hard facts, well we would have a different story and outcome today. They are enemy number 1 of we the people in my book and they should all be arrested for crimes against humanity!
Well done outpsyching them fren!
Good Lord that is disturbing
Very considering I know my previous employer wanted to enforce it I left, most likely they have 90% of their current workforce vaxxed.
I’ve decided I’ll leave the medical field after this
I'm definitely leaving the field - hoping and praying the Good Lord let's me retire this year!!! God Bless Fren!
All I gotta say is:
NICE JOB HOLDING THE EFFING LINE! WOOOOOO!
Its been tough but someone has to do it. The hard part will be going back to work and being motivated to do a good job. And now everybody knows my personal medical and religious affiliations and I can guarantee I will be judged and lose opportunities because of this.
I lost motivation when they threatened I would lose my job - a hard-working person who has gone above and beyond over the years - NO MORE! Just doing my time until I can get the heck out!
Agreed!
It's not irrelevant if it means you get to continue enjoying the same quality of life. Us paycheck to paycheck people are the ones getting fucked because we wouldn't live like this if there were other opportunities available like you were able to find. The smart and driven are feeling the squeeze. The stupid and lazy are being crushed. Thankfully the next generation we're raising in our house is making better choices and that's all I'm really concerned about.
I have lost most of my motivation at work too. I didn't face the choice that you did, but our management showed their true colors by sticking with mask mandates longer than was required and other actions they took along the way. It's sad. Our owner is based. He's a millionaire who lives in a millionaire neighborhood and he still had Trump flags mounted to his house last time I was there. The problem is that he's slowly dying of brain cancer and isn't involved in the business too much now. His son's and the rest of the management are not like him.
If I, you or anyone else threaten people with an unloaded (or fake) firearm, we can be shot dead all the same by law enforcement or any other responder just as if it was a live and loaded weapon.
There will be a future time when assertions like the above will be tested in court as a defense... like the assertion that all the threats made against people and their livelihoods was legit and lawful as coerced consent with violence/threats is still consent. Just like how a rapist holding the knife to a neck of a victim means it isnt really rape... ?
Crush this notion utterly when it appears. No excuse. No wiggle room for the perpetrators to escape justice.
Good words! I am going to use this example as I start working with lawyers to plead this case. I can still sue even though they didn't fire me...
Best of luck with that process, there must be legal sites out there with the right ideas to get the ball rolling (will be perhaps the most litigated issue in history) but I off the cuff dont know of any.
Its an older link but the legal workflow and reasoning behind the hypothetical steps that a company might take, and what ideas for a response you can counter with still ring true now - maybe its something useful.

Thanks for that! I will dig in. I'll keep y'all informed as it plays out too.
Absolutely. I’ve thought about this same thing multiple times. It was 100% set up as a fear tactic to get as many as possible to comply. Nothing should surprise us anymore.
Cornell University fired uninjected workers, even though the Supreme Court struck down the mandate. Must be some child molesters high up in the ranks there.
Lawsuits galore though! Winnable ones!
I think it's panic on their part because not only did they lose good employees if/when they fired the unvaxxed, but they're losing employees because the vaxxed ones are dropping like flies.
I check the job listings in my town frequently. The local hospitals that fired the unvaxxed employees are listing almost daily looking for employees. Either they can't find anyone to fill the positions or they can't keep anyone in the positions. Take that as you will.
I apply to every job posting I see that requires a VAX, that I am halfway qualified for. Just so I can say that I am unvaxed, just so they might think about the qualified folks they are loosing.
Exactly - sounds like my hometown! And they are even offering big bonuses for those who get hired - one caveat though - you have to be vaccinated or get an exemption. I doubt many get the exemption!
You know how these corporations have been complaining about how hard it has been to find and keep employees over the past couple of years? I have a lot of theories about why, one of the biggest being why would anyone bother applying for a job if there is a possibility that having the vaccine is part of it?
I've been saying the same about masks, too. I can't imagine working somewhere like a greasy fast food joint and having even more issues breathing because you have to inhale that greasy air through a face diaper your entire shift.
Exactly! And even the damn supreme court upheld it was OK for healthcare to continue to require a EUA covid vaccine - and here in Illinois - we also have to have the flu shot - even for those of us NOT in patient care! It's RIDICULOUS!
I was talking to my tech lead today about how everyone couldn't have just retired early and he's a bit puzzled - he's most of the way there on a lot of this so I said "yeah well frankly a lot of people have died and it's not reached critical mass/people are staying isolated with their instances of it." I mentioned the life insurance payouts data and he said yeah that makes a lot of sense.
sue them for back pay
You got it, it was an all-in bluff. Pre-meditated to achieve any/all convoluted basket of globohomo goals they could.
Fire the unvaxxed then hire them back to inflate Biden's job numbers!
If you don't bow you wont break
"We're just following the guidance of ..., who is following the guidance of ... , who is following the guidance of ... , who is just making shit up as they go along."
the driving in the car alone wearing the mask just makes me cuss! they weave and drive 45 down the highway ... agh!
We just had an email last week for openings within our department. The jobs they are trying to find people to fill, suck. They should have never blended two jobs into one as it's too difficult to get people to stay in those positions when they can go elsewhere and only do one for the same pay. Today we received an email that our organization will no longer require rona tests for preoperative purposes. I look for the mask mandate to go away within the next 30 days though it'll be difficult for them to let go of that control.
My VP told all of us that we were expected to be the leader in taking these experimental shots. And then they paid me short term disability for nearly 6 months for a medical exemption to their mask mandate 🖕🏻🖕🏻
Edit: and fuck no I didn’t take the clot shots, but damn near everyone else I know did. Wtf
Yes. That's exactly what.
My company requested vax status and the deadline was just prior to the SC decision.. I waited until the last possible moment to give it to them. Then the following Monday SC says no to vax pass & my company sent out an email-vax status not required. I went back in & unregistered & revoked my ‘consent’ that I was forced to do that previous Friday just to keep my job. Bastards. But I held out & all turned out well thankfully!
In short, yes. All employers that went all in on this wanted to play the biggest game of medical chicken ever, and it is one they now have to pay for. They are going to feel the effects for years.
I’m not in healthcare but work for local government. We were told to get vaccinated by the end of October and that we could file for exemptions but would have to test weekly. They sent out some long policy talking about how we’d get a week suspension for not complying and then be terminated if we didn’t comply after the suspension. I sent a religious exemption request in October but obviously never got jabbed and haven’t tested either. They haven’t done anything other than send me emails with follow up questions for my exemption which I’ve ignored. I think it’s been like 3 emails. It’s basically a drawn out game of chicken where they can’t really win. They either have to back off or deny my exemption and fire me. Those are their options.
My cousin’s religious exemption was suddenly approved indefinitely a few weeks ago, after being previously denied. She held the line and it paid off...for now I suppose.
The nurse at the pediatric office we go to said she was let go for a few months for refusing the clotshot and was recently rehired without having to take it. Ha!
I feel for the young kids joining the military or the guard. They have to get the vax. I pray that this is stopped asap, the young kids, vaxxed and then going thru boot camp, has to take its toll.
Yeah my friend's kid went into the Navy and had to get the shot. But his problem was that he still had his wisdom teeth. They consider that "a liability". So the Dr Mengele at the bootcamp pulled all four of his wisdom teeth out and he bled so much he was sent to the health building and missed all of bootcamp. He's now trying to get back in.
Yea
They don't have enough people.
Ask them for salary increase.
Yes
