I think about this a fair bit. Work in a small company, very technical, there is a great deal of knowledge that is held by individuals that isn't really documented anywhere else. Most are acting as compliant sheep and have a total lack of moral courage, as far as I know, I'm the only one in the company who is not vaxxed (and have no plans to do so). We have already had a senior engineer suffer myocarditis from the jab, if we lost senior or experienced developers, there are several people in the company who if they were gone, the future of the company as a whole would be in dire jeopardy.
My boss has taken the vaxx, very reluctantly, he didn't want to but has to travel internationally to meet clients, so effectively had no choice. He is basically on the same wavelength as me, although not quite as informed. I'm not sure if he's contemplated (or wants to) what would happen if certain key employees were permanently disabled or killed by the shot. He is not mandating, forcing or encouraging people to get it, it is up to each individual, so legally he is not in any danger. But the loss of the employees (most of whom are my friends, despite their current psychosis) would be devastating.
What do I do if they all die. Fucked if I know, go off and do something else entirely? If it came to that, then it would be likely that a sizeable portion of the entire population would be dropping dead, shit would be hitting the fan so hard that there is basically nothing you could do now to plan for it. I have virtually no extended network and have been in my job for quite a number of years. If the company didn't collapse, I would have a lifetime of work trying to understand and document as best I could how everything works. I'd rather not have to do that though.
If it all goes to shit, I can do my job from home if technology continues to function. If it goes so badly that the world as we know it effectively comes to an end, I'm about as well positioned as I can be in terms of being self sufficient (or able to be) and having other skills that do not require the existence of an advanced technological society. If it comes to that, it will be more about survival of my son than anything else.
That's a really realistic response.
Pretty depressing tho...
It's a pretty depressing time TBH.
I'm a fairly cynical person, but shit is going down hill faster than I ever imagined. I sort of wish it was something else, like an EMP or CME, or just a bog standard zombie apocalypse. Maybe that's selfish of me as in the current scenario I'm "enemy number one" of the state and in the most likely group to be marched out into a field and shot. People still think I'm mad for suggesting that this is where we're heading, even as they identify me as the "other" and tell me how I should be persecuted and discriminated against.
Fuck Dan Andrews!
Tomorrow, I will play with my son and do some woodworking in the shed and maybe some gardening if the weather is nice. It feels good to unplug and escape from the madness, if only for a brief while.
there is a great deal of knowledge that is held by individuals that isn't really documented anywhere else.
Sadly a good defensive mechanism to protect themselves from the horrible corporate shenanigans.
