My school barely allowed me to graduate I had to sue them for rejecting my exemption 3x and they took my scholarship away for noncompliance with the mandates. I was an excellent student and only 6 classes away from graduation and had to change my major to graduate remotely. To make matters worse, they ended the mandates after I graduated and started accepting exemptions after I sued. I’m two years out of college and still can’t find gainful employment. Lost all my friends because of my stance and I’ve had multiple job offers rescinded because the lawsuit shows up in my background check. I’m suspicious of any work environment I will be allowed in because all it takes is a Google search and I’m fired for being “misinformed” “anti-vax” or someone who sues people.
I’m glad the rest of the world can move on and pretend horrible life-altering shit didn’t happen. For all the conservatives who egged on lawsuits and fighting back, they all coward away from associating in public with people who actually stood up. It ruined peoples lives and it’s absolutely despicable that it happened to young people.

My wife and I did the same thing. I quit my job due to the mask mandates which nearly crippled my department and my wife was fired from her job for not wearing a mask since she wasn't vaccinated. Since then we have been able to hold one job but when that ended we have now been looking for employment for over 5 months and have been turned down over 40 times. My guess it's the color of our skin, and our background. Also if it asks is she has ever been terminated she has to say why.
We both have degrees, I was in the military 8 years and you would think we would be strong candidates for hire...not in this economy. Hang in there though, I am praying that when Trump gets in and smacks all these idiots in the head with a reality hammer that companies will hire based on merit again and not just because someone isn't white or is some translesbiandinosaur.
