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?

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.
