Context: many companies are coming out saying that they are going to "require" vaccines. A couple weeks ago we had some exec spend 5 minutes during a company-wide meeting talk about how we all needed to be vaccinated and the company was going to take a hard-line stance of "vaccine or mask" and require proof of vaccination in the former case.
Well today they officially rolled out the policy: employees will be given the option to "self-attest" that they have been vaccinated using the online HR platform. The tool asks which vaccine you've taken and the date you took each course. No batch/lot number, no location, nothing that could actually be used to authenticate the information provided; and no verification will be performed.
I bring this up because companies like to talk a big game, but their bark is often bigger than their bite; and what they actually do frequently ends up being underwhelming. So I'm curious for others who work places that will require vaccinations what your policies actually are (as opposed to what the Press Release says they are). Has your employer actually implemented any policies, or are they still in the "put out a Press Release" stage?
Obviously don't provide any information that could be used to dox you.
My employers policies were very recently (although I’m told is in the midst of changing because of “Delta”) the following...
However I refuse to play their game so I didn’t self report that I was vaccinated, and i won’t. Additionally if they require I come back to the office I’m just gonna go and work where I want. If they begin asking questions about vaccinations or asking why I’m not masking I’m just gonna say “I only take medical advice from medical professionals who have examined me in a medical setting and who are qualified and ethically capable of providing such medical advice.” If they push back I will just go to my desk and work until they physical throw me out of the building at which point I will claim unemployment.
