Hey guys, trying to crowdsource some advice here. My mother called me in tears because her job's mandating the vax. Without getting too specific, she works for the federal government and lives in a red state. She's really in a panic because she thinks everyone who gets the jab is gonna die within 5 years. I can't in good conscience recommend she get vaxed, despite that fear likely being overblown, just due to the other potential side effects of this mrna jab.
Anyways, I had no real advice for her. I managed to refrain from being a dick for no reason and saying she should've planned for this months ago when I was worrying about it. But my solution (get fired and live like a neet off savings for a while), isn't going to work for her.
Only advice I could give was:
A) forget about the 30 years you've worked there and try to find a new job
B) hold out as long as possible and hope the mandate's rescinded (unlikely)
C) find a doctor who'll forge a vax pass for you/do it yourself
D) religious exemption, but she's said she can't find any info on how to do that
I'm drawing blanks on anything else, and it's killing me inside to hear my mom so worked up. Sorry about the personal rant, but any advice would be appreciated!
It's the federal government, not doing work and consuming cash is the entire reason it exists
Not to be a dick about it, but what agency? I've worked for the DoD for about ten years and it really depends on the agency and the program as to whether they actually have to work or not.
DHS, CBP specifically. Just joking about the lack of productivity.
Think she's in a tough spot because it's federal mandate and she's got a federal job. I don't think DeSantis is gonna attempt to fine the federal government for enforcing vaggzine mandates for their employees in his state
Yeah, they will actually care if a quarter of their employees quit. She needs to round up as many like minded employees as possible, so that people know they aren't alone, and stand up to it.
