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.

I filed a medical and religious exemption on the advice of a lawyer. He says there has been litigation starting way back at the beginning of this crap but the courts are so damned slow.

He also implied that they are cucked and terrified of big pharma and the federal government. I wonder if they will just keep tossing stuff out so they don't have to rule on it.

Also at my work (150k+ employees) I know of only one other person filing an exemption. Between us, both our teams are fully vaxxed and proud. They were going around on team calls demanding (other teammates, not managers) demanding to know statuses. I ignored the question and it was assumed I wasn't paying attention (though my lead told me later he understood that I wasn't comfortable saying anything and dropped it at that). My friend just outright lied to avoid the ostrazation.

How do file the exemption? Is it an actual form or just write a letter?

For my company it was a form. Here were the invasive questions (they are a Catholic charity, so I've always avoided saying one single word about my religion because I'm sure it strays quite far from whatever it is Catholics or pretend Catholics believe):

Please explain the religious belief, observation, or practice that prevents you from getting the COVID-19/Influenza vaccine.

Please describe the specific conflict between your religious belief, observance or practice and the COVID-19/Influenza vaccine. In your response, please identify the specific reasons the vaccine requirement causes conflict.

Please provide any information that will help us determine that your belief is sincerely held. For example, does this belief affect any other aspect of your life? Please provide any details you feel are relevant.

Please identify any job accommodation(s) that you believe would resolve the conflict between your religious belief, observance or practice and the vaccine requirement. Be as specific as possible.

That last one felt weirdly worded to be a trick question to me. Do they want to know what will make me take a forced poison into my body? Or do they want to know what I will be willing to do to prevent my "dirty unvaxxed, unclean" self away from people? It was all really disheartening. I know if word gets out that I even filed an exemption I will be harassed by colleagues. I just recently moved to a new, amazing team and to get fired or alienate them now will really suck.

Interesting.

I was looking up employment attorneys earlier today. If it comes down to I think I will let them help me fill the form or write a letter. I'm sure that is a request they are seeing more and more of.

That would probably depend on the company. My wife is in healthcare and they provide forms for both religious and medical exemptions. They also allow exemptions for pregnant employees but that would obviously only last until no longer pregnant.
