Hearing from people in multiple industries that companies have basically already given up on forcing employee vaccinations. Also, an update on the Xi (I mean Omicron, silly me!) variant.
Robin Williams famously joked that when British police (who are mostly unarmed) see a criminal running away, they yell:
“Stop!”
Pause…
“Or I’ll stay stop again!”
Something similar seems to be happening with big companies in the wake of the 5th Circuit’s stay of the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate requirement. I have now heard from several people that they have either submitted requests for exemptions and heard nothing back or been given helpful advice on how to be approved. Others have simply ignored their employers’ deadlines and faced no penalties.
With discontent over the mandate high and rising, the job market tight, and a good chance the Supreme Court will strike down the Biden rule before it ever takes effect, the fact employers are slow-walking enforcement shouldn’t surprise anyone. The mess over boosters only makes matters worse. Companies will surely not want to be in the position of having this fight with employees every six months. more
The vax mandates will destroy this country faster than anything because Americans would rather lose a job than become lab rats.
These ‘mandates’ belong in a commie country….ONLY!
I no longer listen to narrative engineering (news, blogs, media, etc.)
More & bigger mandates coming fellow comrades.
In-N-Out was correct, the Biden* administration expected employers to be the enforcement arm for the government mandate.
Hopefully companies are looking at both potential lawsuits from terminated employees and the cost of hiring new ones and either saying no or ignoring the bogus mandates. It will cost them dearly if they don’t.
The rumor swirling around the company I work for is a “vaccination status tracker” database is coming soon and all employees will have to provide their status to be entered into the database. This is in anticipation of the OSHA “mandate” getting through the courts. I suspect non-compliance will be justification for termination.
mandate? We dont need no stinkin’ mandate.
