It may be possible that one dimension of the craziness going on now is foreign destabilization.

Examples: One rogue employee makes a donation to Bernie? Boycott and wreck the company.

Employers require vaccination? Quit and wreck the company.

If you are fired it'll help the destabilization sure, but not every company will fire its employees for non compliance. Additionally, the more who stay and stand their ground, the more will be inspired to do so also.

So, if you are in a position to resist, then resist. There's a chance that we all will weather the storm, and still have something left standing if we do.

There is another aspect of this you should consider.

What color is your parachute?

Leaving a company on bad terms is best avoided at all costs, if you can.

If the writing is on the wall, and you know it's time to go, the best play is to say nothing, and go find another job before you leave your current one.

That way when you do resign, you can say you have received a better offer elsewhere. It is of course, confidential, however, the offer is so good you are forced to accept it, no hard feelings, and thanks for the opportunity, it has been an excellent experience, you guys are a great bunch of people, and I will miss you. Then you are out clean.

This preserves your employment reference.

You should even do this if you are quitting without the new job offer. Moving to a better job should be your official reason for leaving.

HR should never say anything about you in a bad light that isn't well documented in your employee file. It opens obscene amounts of legal liability for the firm.

Also, if they decide to try to keep you, they have to offer you more money to stay. Perhaps a promotion. They are more likely to do this if they think another firm lured you away than if you are quitting because of shitty management decisions.

I realize things are crazy right now. But this could also all blow over in a few years. Your past employment performance can follow you around for decades. Keep that in mind as you plan your moves. It pays to think ahead.
