During the height of the plandemic, many large companies in my area and in my industry immediately yanked the freedom of choice from their employees in an attempt to save face and not get gigged by the gov for not following illegal mandates. Oddly, many smaller 8(a)'s didn't blink... was kinda cool, really. Then and now I am approached by headhunters and recruiters from these big (billion dollar) firms - 'oh, we want you, we need you' blah blah ad-nauseum..

I just sent another one a kindly fuck-off note: I will not support you or your customer, thank you for your consideration.

Life is about choices - I made mine when these fuckers decided mandates held more weight than freedom.

Feels good, man.

Most of the business restrictions and penalties did not apply to companies of less than 100 employees. It is explicitly stated in the various executive orders, etc. There were always exemptions, and they are telling.

The 100 employee minimum was to protect special interest groups, which are often very small, from having to face fines for not vaxxing themselves.

But, it is also a large reason why certain small companies didn't blink. It didn't apply to them.

very true. but this didn't spill over into the defense world even in companies that had less than 100 - since most likely these will be subs to primes and therefore the rules trickle down. the coercion here is losing a contract and in this space could kill a company. litigation was and is still tricky in these corners of business but many mare making though just fine. even smaller businesses with 200 or 500 were gung-ho in pushing the mandate rule simply due to the fact they were riding the tails of a prime. I applaud all the SMBs that stuck it out and continue to do so; there are many out there that just don't advertise it.
