I was hired for a really great role at a great company. Three Zoom interviews and no mention of the vax. The hiring manager told me upper management had loved me.
I was all set to begin work soon and then this email came:
“I hope you are well.
Would you please forward your proof of vaccination and boosters to us so we can have them on file?“
To which I responded that I was not vaccinated. Two days later they fired me in an email, saying should I wish to get vaxed, they would consider talking to me again.
Standing strong in my truth today, but it stings a little....
Seems illegal to ask for privileged health information. Keep copies of all their emails, you may be able to join in a discrimination lawsuit against that, and multiple companies, at a later date. I am not an attorney or giving legal advise, just a supposition on my part. You may find a better job on the horizon because God works in mysterious ways and often we are put to the test of holding to our beliefs in the face of adversity.
It’s only illegal if they ask a person’s doctor for medical info. and the doctor in turn shares that patient info with the asking party. Not illegal to ask the person outright.
I think you’re right.
You did the right thing by standing your ground. I'm sorry it didn't work out but it just means that something better is going to come along. Only a shit company would require the jab.
