I knew it was either Reddit or 4chan, I just guessed wrong.

Still bullshite.

I don't know about most compliance departments, but our company and most of our large customers are all going down the attestation road.

Thankfully I work for a decent company so my boss's never asked me to get vaccinated/wear a mask, even when this whole thing started. They are completely against both which I highly respect.

IF my boss/company was the exact opposite and tried to force me to get a vaccine. I would just simply either say nothing or say it's none of their business, and let them fire me if that's the case, and just collect unemployment like every other fricker in this country and then just sue for wrongful termination.

Don’t quit. Get that unemployment or sue.

I just went through a similar situation, except ours was a written mandatory vaccination policy. You either show vaccination proof, or you "voluntarily resign" by refusing to show it.

I don't see how this could possibly be legal.

It is perfectly legal in most places for a private company to ask for mandatory vaccinations (with some notable exceptions).

The only thing they are subjecting themselves to is a possible Worker's Comp case on the extremely off chance that the vaccine does have an adverse effect.

It absolutely is.

The only issue would be the "Voluntary resignation", I think the courts would say this was a termination, but I'm not a lawyer so who knows.

Regardless what you call it, the result is the same.

Your company provides health insurance, and the more people that need to use the HI the more the rates go up for everyone, company wide.

It is 100% their business, and they can enforce mandatory vaccinations, legally, in most states if they want to.



For your information I decline my employers "health care" coverage.

Regardless, the personal health decisions you make are yours to make. Period. You fascist toad.

And NO "they" can't make you get vaccinated regardless of what state you reside in the US.

Employers CAN make a vaccination a requirement of employment before you are hired, or during your tenure, if done so as part of a written policy.

Now since you know so much about this please show me anyone who has been terminated without a written COVID policy or forcibly vaccinated by an employer.

I'll hang up and listen.

This is the part I'm referring to. This would prevent someone taking unemployment correct? You cant call it voluntary if you are given an ultimatum.

As far as I know, no one here got unemployment. I even spoke with my representatives about it. Since Tennessee is a right to work state, there isn't much that they could do.

I'd be getting a lawyer if I were one of them. Voluntary resign for not getting a vax is horseshite as it's not voluntary. This just seems like a corporation brow beating employees into not taking the legal route out of ignorance.

I actually submitted a religious exemption that was ignored. A lawyer got that fixed real quick....and charged me $0.

The first place you screwed up is even answering the question.

It's not anybody else's business whether you've been vaccinated or not.

Unless they have a written policy saying it is a requirement of employment I would decline to comment. It's certainly legal for them to do that (unfortunately) but make them do that and then make your choice.

IMHO I don't believe many companies will be taking the risk to make written policy requiring it as then they have some liability if you have an adverse reaction and then it would even become an OSHA recordable.

Even many healthcare settings do not require it as they know it is a huge can of worms.
From the company's perspective, I would:
Add to the employment app "have you ever been vaccinated for Covid-19
If they answer "no", then I wouldn't hire them, and if they leave it blank, then I wouldn't hire them...problem solved.

frick yeah. This is exactly what I mean. Corporations break the law all the time around this stuff and people whom are fired don't realize this.

Did you use the aborted fetal tissue being used in the development and production of the vaxxes as your justification?

Yes, but they didn't like that as an excuse.

Another guy said he believed in natural healing and they told him he had to believe in some God.

He ended up getting the shot a month after his voluntary resignation. Then tried to come back and they wouldn't let him.

I don't think it is legal to ask that question as part of a job application.

The same way you can't ask if someone has had a heart attack, their tonsils removed, or if they are gay on a job application.

I assume they won't like any excuse used. I don't think a corporation has any standing to validate your religious beliefs.

It will be interesting to see how the legalities of such situations play out
