I will not quit, but the "leadership" of the federal contractor who I work for is full woke. The GM's annual salary is over $1.5 million (yes, you read that right) and is on record stating that he will not risk his job for those of us who are unvaxxed. He even stated that he was considering implementing a mandatory vax policy if the .gov didn't do it. The entire organization he manages encompasses over 8800 employees and approx 25% of that population are unvaxxed. The GM has also stated that it isn't his job to protect our rights. The word on the street is if we file a medical or religious exemption, we will be put on 30 or 60 days of unpaid leave then separated from the company. They are going to say it was a voluntary separation so we won't get unemployment benefits. Throughout my entire life, I've never been unemployed. Why the fuck do I even pay unemployment insurance out of my paycheck when I can't use it when I really need it???
Our company directly supports the nuclear navy fleet and this mass "termination" of many skilled employees (engineers, scientists, technicians, administrative, basically all levels of skills) will compromise the mission. I've been job hunting and interviewing, but if I can't find anything comparable, I will probably have to sell everything I own and start completely over. I'm single so I've got no other income to rely on. Basically, I'm fucked. After 16-1/2 years with this company, it's a slap in the face and I'm disgusted and pissed beyond belief by the whole situation. F Biden.
