Ok boys and girls, there’s been a spate of hard talk. Let’s see how many hard asses there are.
Don’t post “what you would do if”. Don’t puff up and say “if it was me” etc etc.
Post when you quit or are fired over your employer requiring the kungflu shot. By no means do you need to name your employer. Your word will suffice.
I'm no hero. I'm also, however, not one to turn my back on things I believe deeply in, or one willing to sell out my convictions for a paycheck. With my fairly recent actions regarding a gig I kept for better than a quarter century, believe I proved this. Turns out, some folks just can't be bought. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/16361194/1Did you retire or quit? I quit. I'm 15 years away from retirement age, give or take.

We don't need another hero. - Tina Turner Truth. I smoked 25 years and i survived, after lung surgery and by the Grace of GOD (thanks, Father). Did they remove 3/4 of your brain in the process?

Hell after 27 years Id think you’d get some kind of pension.

Brother Gruff, my best advice would be to position yourself so in the future you can tell them GFY
For a long time I was. But through some decisions I made, and some things beyond my control am not anymore. It’s a bit of a race, my retirement clock is counting down as my employer moves towards my personal red lines that will not be crossed. We’ll see who hits the finish line first. I ceded ground on this. LMFAO…😂😂 I'm slow, please explain the joke.

BGG, they had a very generous benefits package and a 9% annual salary addition on top of my 5% contribution in a 403B. After 25 years that compound interest thing and a roughly 10% ROR can do some significant growing. Assuming things don't go completely to hell in the markets by the time I'm retired, even without any additional retirement savings (which isn't going to happen) I should be north of $2M in that investment vehicle alone, so there's that.
I won't lie. Losing the 13 weeks paid time off, a pretty decent salary and the outstanding health benefits hurt, but after some pretty serious soul searching concluded that I wasn't willing to trade future financial security and roll over on this thing, or anything like it. Push came to shove and all employees and students were given the mandate: get vaccinated or lose your job. I chose the latter and resigned. I won't be told what to do with my body by anyone. Except maybe my wife...
FWIW, I'd understand those who decided that they simply couldn't afford to lose their jobs/incomes, due to family or whatever, so I hope I don't sound like it's a one size fits all deal. I know it's not. For me, however, it was time to stick to my guns and hit it. We'll be just fine, and unless I miss my guess, happier and better off in the long run.

Standing on principle isn’t coming up with a fake vaccine card or conjuring some religious belief to weasel out of it.
Granted, if I was worried about the jab and needed my job for my family, I’d likely do one or both.
The fact is if you’re going to claim it, ya better live it. Tell them why when you give them the Johnny Paycheck.
