re: Companies who at some point fired workers for not getting Covid shot

I got covid early, like the county health department called me early.
I worked for a fortune 250 company. (Doesn't mean I'm wealthy) and had a 1 year no compete. My boss suggested they may do mandates.
I left the company two weeks later, put up garage doors for a year then started my own business.
My previous employer called me for 6 months trying to get me to reconsider, explaining they decided against the mandates.
The simple fact of someone that knew me, suggesting they, (not a doctor) could dictate my personal health decisions was all the motivation I needed to go out on my own.
