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....
You SO did the right thing. I work in an office building where I interact with a lot of people. Here's the vaxx toll count so far: one 57-year-old dead within 24 hours of his plane flight after he came back from Cancun where he got recertified for scuba diving; one 50-year-old now undergoing chemotherapy for colon cancer; one man in his 40s who has been in the hospital when something went whacky with his heart; one 65ish-year-old man who first had blood clots and now has cancer and is getting chemo treatment; one man in his 70s who "always had a strong ticker" and now can't understand what is happening to his heart that has now required two surgeries to try to correct; one 34-year-old woman who now has diabetes and is sick most of the time with one cold or flu or another; another man whose wife works in the building who is in his late 30s who had something go drastically wrong with his digestive tract and was in the hospital for weeks. What do these people all have in common? the vaxx. And then yesterday, one of the counselors who sees people at the office said she had a police officer who came to see her because he has started having "intrusive thoughts" since he was forced to get the vaxx to keep his job. He is also having hallucinations. He attributes all of this to the vaxx and is frustrated, to say the least, since he had the vaxx and THEN got COVID. This counselor herself had the vaxx and is now all too aware of the reasons to be concerned.
I'm sorry that you're dealing with this disappointment regarding the job opportunity, but I am guessing that God /Universe/Creator has even better plans for you. And this company you're talking about cannot be a "great company" if they're forcing people to get the jab--especially now. They're fascists and idiots on top of it. Some company that deserves you will now have a shot at you. And I'm guessing that someday (hopefully not too far in the future) you'll look back at this and thank your lucky stars. Good luck, fren.
What a great reply! Thank you. You’ve all made this easier to swallow. A bit sad today but being a Patriot has actually taught me a lot about handling disappointment.
