Not that any of you keep track of what I say here, but as part of my contract with this current role I stipulated no masks and no vaccines. Now... the company where the contracting firm has me placed is fine with that. It's the contracting firm that wants all of us to be vaccinated as a selling point to clients.

When they told me about the new requirement I called my boss and told him about it, then said I'd be leaving within two weeks. He freaked out, told me not to leave, then called the contracting agency and reamed them a new asshole.

No vax for me.

Been told countless times but I'll just repeat: Don't leave, let them fire you.

Every day someone starting topic like this.

While I would agree on the principle of the matter, it seems like threatening to leave motivated his boss into getting him exempt in this particular case.

That's exactly what happened.

Can you explain why you think this is helpful? Many states are right to work and just flat out don'tgive a shit. What do you think will happen that would be in OP's favor?

The company would be out of a worker. When this happens a couple of times they reconsider their decision and the world is a better place. It's either that or the company's woke ass goes broke, and the world is a better place.

I'm an at-will contractor so technically the staffing firm could fire me. That would piss of the client and they'd lose a lot of business. I took a slight risk by refusing but I'm already coordinating my next gig so it's not like getting canned would be that much of a hardship. It's a lot easier to stand on principle when you can afford some time out of work.

That's great, could you share some tips? When is the best time to spring the no mask no vaccines on them? As in what point do you bring it up. During the interview? Or after they send you the offer letter?

In my case i er....

lets just say i both pull in a lot of work for my company and the ratings i get are... well the boss wouldnt get as high ratings lets put it that way.

they drop me and a couple of other people who have refused they drop their entire reason that people come to us and not the competition, beause their best trainers end up accepting the job offers theyve had elsewhere.

Haha, that's awesome; I do recall you mentioning this.

Crazy that vaccination status is a marketing tool. Could you imagine, "Do business with us, none of our employees have AIDS!"?

It's 2021. A better marketing campaign would be "Do business with us, all of our employees have AIDS and are post op black trannies."

Or if you had to have a card verifying you’re not an obese fuck to eat at a fast food restaurant.

I’ve said many times, if they want to mandate shit, people need a BMI card updated monthly from their physician and if you’re outside your BMI range you get progressively taxed, the higher your BMI they higher the tax.

I hope someone responds to that pitch with, "Interesting, can you also provide me their hepatitis b vaccination status?". Or something along those lines.

60% of niggers have aids. If no employees had aids, i'd probably do business on the assumption that few or no niggers worked there.

Tell your contract shop you will not get an experimental vaccination and make them fire you. Do not quit. Giving the company boss a heads up is good so he can pressure the contract shop but make them fire for not getting the jab. It puts you in the right legally and protects your options in the future when the push back starts in earnest.

Are you even working on site or are you working from home?

[–] • 3 pts

I work from home, which makes it even dumber for them to try. Do they not understand the job market right now?

Being fired for any reason looks bad on your resume with future employers.

You are far better off leaving before being fired.

Resigning is the accepted practice for arbitrary changing of working conditions.

Always resign politely. Give proper notice. Preserve the job reference.

In management circles, it is bad enough when management suddenly starts losing workers. It costs companies a fortune to hire and integrate new workers. It is also highly disruptive. Workers quitting is the kind of thing that gets managers fired.

Only now have people been fired for not getting an experimental shot that is not actually a vaccine for a coronavirus. We do not live in normal times.

I disagree. There will be consequences for employers firing people for this sometime in the future, hopefully soon. We do not live in normal times.

If you quite because you refused to get the jab what makes you think they will give you a good job reference? We do not live in normal times.

We do not live in normal times. Things are already highly disrupted and these companies demanding you get an experimental shot don't care how many workers they lose.

I agree with most here - call their bluff (which is what you did).

Don't play the exemption game - make them fire you and then either sue, or just relax and pull unemployment (check the applicable laws to ensure this is possible). If you just lay low and enjoy life, in two to three months they'll most probably be crying to get you back. Before you return to the job ask for a bonus.

I did that years ago. Told a contractor that Id come back for $1000 bonus. He couldnt pay me quick enough.

The “vaccine” came up in conversation at work the other day. I was told I really should get it, I may be asymptomatic. So I says, “that’s good right? And you’re vaccinated. No problem.”walked away. Sure they would have pressed it, but I’m good at what I do and they need me.

We are being pushed in a similar fashion. The company can't mandate anything yet but I have to work in various buildings and some of the buildings are demanding that vendors be vaxxed. So far there's more unvaxed than vaxxed so only a handful of buildings being really pushy. My hope is that all of us unvaxxed don't bend. They literally can't afford to fire us all.

They literally can't afford to fire us all.

That is the most important thing to remember.

Did you have the agreement with the contracting firm or your indirect employer? If it was with the contracting firm then you had the potential to sue if they would agree to let you go for that reasln on paper.

That employment agency sounds like they're major assholes for doing this. That gives you the moral ground to eventually work directly for the boss' company one day.

The agreement was with the client, not the staffing firm.

They're the worst one I've ever dealt with, and I've been doing this for more than a decade. I'd considered converting to FTE with the client but they don't pay staff all that well. I'm likely going to be moving to my next engagement soon.
