Yep. My job of ten years threatened us all with either getting the jab or being let go. Initially, they weren't going to provide any sort of exemption, but state law required them to grudgingly allow religious exemptions. However, they made it as difficult as possible to apply for one (horribly-made website that you had to get the location of word-of-mouth, you had a 15 minute time limit to fill everything out before it would all reset on you, and there was a strict deadline.)

We thought that was the worst of it after the waves of "your application has been received and provisionally approved" emails went out, but no. They then appointed a panel of outside people to review the exemptions and decide which were legit and which weren't. Most were rejected out of hand. Those that weren't were given follow-up form-letter questions to answer where they tried to nitpick you into admitting you were a liar or that your religion did not actually prevent you from getting jabbed. Some people received up to 5 follow-up rounds of questioning about their religious beliefs before they were ultimately denied their exemption and given a deadline to be jabbed or be fired.

All of my coworkers got the shot and kept bugging me to just get it. It's not that bad. It'll be okay. You're creating all this stress on yourself for no reason. By then, the propaganda push was in full-force and I was terrified of what was actually in those shots. I kept refusing, prayed for guidance, and begged my husband to refuse as well when he was considering getting it so life could be "normal" again. Thankfully, he remains unjabbed. I tried to reason with friends and family to not get it, or at least not get more of them if they'd already taken the first dose to varying degrees of success. Most ignored me but some were enlightened to the bullshit.

The militant push at work stopped immediately when people started to drop dead, and all the "Jab or job" propaganda disappeared overnight as they pretended it had always been a choice. As far as I know, I'm the only unjabbed person in the building.
