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?

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.
