I had an approved religious exemption from Los Alamos National Laboratory and Thom Mason the current director decided himself that the only accommodation would be leave without pay. So essentially firing me. Not sure what recourse I would have, but LWOP is not accommodating me.
I work at a linked facility. My company wasn't stupid enough to fire me. I tried the medical exemption route, but they wanted me to change my employment contract with them and I refused. So I pretty much told them they'll just have to fire me. They decided to play the waiting game. Got an email last week that all COVID BS has been dropped and no further action will be taken.
Every single engineer in my agency refused. It was not until we returned to work that we talked and realized that we had all arrived at the same conclusion.
The engineering manager (whom is a flaming liberal) “demanded” we comply, our response was a uniform “fire me”; now we all openly laugh at him

Hopefully you will be vindicated, fren. Sending positive vibes your way!
You're right, you were fired unofficially. Sue em!

I hope you sue the shit out of them.

There are literally people here that are jealous of your situation and the payout you're entitled to.
Praying for Justice for everyone!
