re: I would not want to terminate long-time employees because of their vaccine status

Our company to date has not mandated vaccines for our employees, our take on the situation was that if our clients request it, we'll accommodate their request for those employees assigned to that client but overall, we weren't going to mandate vaccines.

The tight labor market has been a real challenge and we have no desire to have to terminate employees because they aren't vac'd. This move by Biden, if it stands and I think it won't, will cause an already tight labor market to be even tighter.

One unintended consequence of this is that all these companies, ours included, that have been pushing diversity and inclusion are going to lose minority employees at a higher rate than white employees due to the lower rate of vaccinations among minorities.
