Business Board: Would Requiring The Vaccine Be a Good Way to Downsize a Company?

Depending on the size of the organization, if an organization wanted to avoid Federal laws regarding downsizing, the potential of paying out severance, or looking like the company wasn't doing well...would requiring the vaccine be a good way to "lose" people?
I wonder if there's any early data out there on companies that are requiring it, and what the rate is of employees that have complied.

Not unless you want all your intelligent, self-driven, autonomous people to leave the company.

Works well for social media companies.

The implication here is that anyone getting the vaccine can't have those qualities?

No as the vast majority of people either have gotten it or will get it, especially if their paycheck is dependent on it.

No. Typically, when downsizing you want to pick & chose which employees to let go. It may not be on an individual level, it could be a department and/or manager level decision. If you chose something like vaccines to make that decision, then the employee essentially gets to choose if they are going to be downsized.
With that said, if a company wants to do that now, they can just blame COVID and start making those cuts now. No one would give it a second thought, outside of obvious discrimination (all terminations are older people, or a certain race). If questioned, they could say it's because of the economy, loss revenue, based on projections, the need to be able to have employees working 6' apart...

You'll end up with exactly the wrong employees.

Sounds like that's YOUR implication.

Anyone with a brain knows that getting the vaccine and having those qualities are not mutually exclusive. That's a conclusion you jumped to using a broad paintbrush

Well, that’s why I said depending on size. WARN Act and all...

But the guy I responded to said requiring the vaccine would make you lose all your employees like that. How is that my implication and not his?

Would the business be liable for any potential side effects from the vaccine? Or is that a stat by state issue?
