I have a great job- good pay, great team, love the work. I am happy here.

Early last week, me and the only other un-shot employee on our team were told that we needed to be shot by December 8th or else we couldn't work. If we showed up un-shot and worked, the company would be fined for something like $14k per day, per un-shot employee.

So there I am, thinking "I'm going to lose this job that I'm finally fucking happy with over this goddamned shot?!" I am ashamed to admit this, but for a few moments, I had actually thought "Fuck it, I'm tired of stressing out over this, I'm tired of wondering if I'm going to have a fucking job next month, I'll just go get the fucking shot and either get all fucked from it, or be fine- but at least I'll have work." So they stressed me out with this pressure, this looming "deadline" (the language they use in shit like this is always very deliberate- deadlines are for work, the government doesn't get to demand deadlines from me).

As the initial anger and fear of the future faded, as my emotions receded and my rational mind took the wheel again, I had an epiphany- THE PURPOSE OF THESE "DEADLINES" IS TO GET GUYS LIKE ME TO JUST THROW THEIR HANDS UP IN FRUSTRATION, SAY "FUCK IT, I'LL GET THE DAMNED SHOT SO I CAN KEEP MY JOB"! And they almost got me. This is a subtle, bizarre kind of peer pressure. I'd argue that it's coercion.

Fucking federal government puts a gun to all employers heads- "Either your employees are shot, or we will fine you into oblivion." So the company, terrified of being fined, then turns and points a gun to the head of their employees- "Either you get the shot, or you don't get to work, and by extension you do not get to earn a living wage." THIS IS THINLY VEILED VIOLENCE. THIS IS A THREAT. THIS IS FORCE.

It seems all the lawyers are finally crawling out of the woodwork. I've been wondering- where the fuck have all the lawyers been over the last two years? We are the most litigious country on earth, lawsuits against anything and anyone for almost any fucking reason.... but no lawyers stepped up and filed suits for civil rights violations, Constitutional violations, etc.? Wtf? There's BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to be made in these lawsuits. But they just sort of went dark during all of this. Very sus.

Anyway, don't let yourself feel pressured like I did. I had planned on waiting until the last day, then getting the shot when it became clear I'd be fired. This plan was folly. I HAVE DRAWN A LINE. I WILL NOT TAKE THAT FUCKING SHOT, I DON'T CARE HOW SAFE THEY CLAIM IT IS, THIS IS THE LINE I WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO CROSS.

The issue with pretending you have the shot, is that they are requiring proof- your little vaccine card. I was instructed to scan it to HR.

These cards may be very difficult to fake, and I'm sure they've got some draconian punishments lined up for "vaccine card fraud". They probably use a special paper, each shot has a serial number which is entered into a database and printed onto the card. HR/safety coordinators will likely have to vet any cards they are given. So when it turns out the serial number on a fake card doesn't exist, or belongs to someone else... they've got you on fraud. So this is probably not the way to go. It's also very jewy, to falsify a document and be duplicitous like this... passive aggression.

You are correct that there is power in numbers... but I think we purebloods are the minority now (at least as far as American adults). If your job site has 100 employees, and only 10 are refusing the shot... even if a couple of them are key members of the team, whose loss would DEVASTATE the company, it would not be as devastating as paying $14k/day per pureblood working.

Finally, without getting too specific... I work in logistics. I have seen with my own two eyes the absolute CLUSTERFUCK that has arisen around late May. You would be stunned to see the difference in total mileage by commercial trucks from early May, to now. I'm estimating, but there's around 75 fucking percent less commercial truck traffic. We're in deep shit. Most people are oblivious to this. But if suddenly, these "mandates" take effect.... we'd lose even more skilled drivers and logicians. And it's not like Americans are super eager to get back into the workforce, and my field requires a long vetting process just to get hired.

My direct team is very small, not even ten people. But the company I work for is MASSIVE, with probably tens of thousands of employees worldwide. The absurdity of this "mandate" is really obvious in this case- they want every company with 100+ employees to have 100% shot rate. I might be somewhat more understanding if this applied to places where those 100 people are all working in the same building or site. But the reality is, we're scattered all over the place, with thousands of people working remotely. The fact that they are demanding remote workers be vaccinated is ALARMING. Why shoot them? They are not coming into contact with anybody in the company. That's why they're fucking working remotely, isn't it?

Ugh, I can spin my wheels on this shit all day....

14k a day shows how detached from reality our own government really is.

Pureblood is a glowfag meme to co-opt the naturally immune meme.

The more you know.

The cards are not hard to fake. They are just printed on 110# card stock. If you want, I’ll post the link of the formatted card that will print properly with a two-sided printer. Then all you need to do is find a picture of someone else’s card and use the same numbers. I also have the leak of every Moderna lot number. Just pick two. Doesn’t matter which ones .You have to know that Pfizer shots are 21 days apart and moderna is 28, or just do one Johnson. In your case, since you will have just gotten the first shot, only put one . Many many people are turning in cards that they made themselves. It is a much better option than to submit to the mandate or lose your job.

They demand remote workers get it too, because it wouldn't be 'fair' to non-remote workers. Hold fast, don't give in to these demonic faggots. I have changed jobs and moved between continents several times in my life. I am now in the best position I have ever been, by every metric. My last move was 6 months ago, very stressful, but WORTH IT.

The vast majority of jobs don't even produce the company 14k per day, you're out of your mind.

This is just what I was told by management. This is the means by which the executive order will be enforced- this is very typical. When not in compliance with federal bullshit, companies first face fines, then investigations/audits, then legal battles.

Remote workers don’t fall under the mandate.

But many companies say so, or else get fired. Most people do not have 5k$ to hire a lawyer to fight it.
