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....
Had to pass on a really good opportunity a couple weeks ago because of a vaccine mandate. I can’t believe these people are still getting people to give in after all this time. They legitimately acted like that’s all that was holding this dream up.. I thought these people are insane, no one that held out this long is caving for a paycheck. Especially when we can read the reports of all the damage done. It does suck but I figure they’ll cave on that mandate long before we will. Once it starts seriously affecting their work force and financials.. they’ll be as mad as we are at the people trying to enforce it.
