re: I’m being threatened to get the vaccine by my job

I don't know anyone unvaccinated that has gotten it in this latest spike.

Matter of fact, the ONLY people I hear about getting it are the vaccinated. I think the news blaming unvaccinated is just complete lies, tbh.

Document conversations - record date, time, and all parties present. Then provide a brief summary of the conversation. Include informal conversations where you may be threatened in an off-hand manner. Do not do this on the company computer, use your own personal device, even your phone to take notes - or good old pencil and paper. Do not leave these notes in a place that can be found by others.

Keep any written communication, hard and soft copy. Again, do not keep these records at work or on a company computer. Your archive needs to be at home, as you may have no access to your workplace or computer with zero advance notice.

If they fire you, ask them to give you the official reason in writing. If they have an HR department, that will be the way it is. They may make up a reason like down-sizing. Since you are now fired, don't be shy. Ask them directly about your vaccine status and if that played a role. They may surprise you and answer honestly.

Find the companies Covid policy, get a copy, bring it home. Don't answer questions about your vaccine status going forward, that information is protected by HIPPA (I think, others please chime in if not). You may want to research this point. Point being, if they fire you for your vaccine status, then they must fire all with the same status. If they fire you for a reason that is not an official policy, then you may have legal recourse.

Good luck.

If my company is willing to fire me over a shot, I must not be that great at my job. Keep in mind, if you get the shot, they can still fire you tomorrow for any reason - so it’s not like you are saving your job forever.

I can’t wait for a few conservative companies to publicly announce that vaccines aren’t required; they’ll snatch up great candidates sick of the BS and segregation.

Not really, how long does it take to interview, hire, and train a new worker? Most covid cases are over well before that.

Once the VAX is FDA approved later this year, we all will be required to take it.

I'll take that bet, what do you want to wager?

I guarantee corporate America and their lawyers don't want any part of this can of worms.

And how can the government "make" everyone in the country take a vaccine?

This is a standoff. Pro-vaccine corporations want the government to make it mandatory and they (government) can't. Government knows they can't and wants to pressure the populace to do it by having employers make it a requirement of employment.

New Jersey just passed a law that to remove your mask in the workplace you must provide proof of vaccination. Other states and municipalities are implementing similar laws.

Oh really? We don’t know anything about the company’s size or structure, or this supervisor’s level of authority within the company. I think what you say is most likely but I wouldn’t call it “guaranteed.”

It's not complicated. Right now ...the BOD and the Staff cannot move. At the same time the Corporate Lawyers have not made a decision yet ...

The key will be the legal thought when the FDA approves the vaccines and their suggestions will be followed to the letter.
