From a Colorado City of ~100k sent to employees today. Just an FYI to get your takes on it and what options employees might have other than what they require.
''Given the above, effective November 9, 2021, I am requiring individuals to either be vaccinated, or be tested weekly."
"I also have to be clear that if an individual is not vaccinated and chooses to not test it will be considered as insubordination and handled accordingly."
That's a paddlin'! I mean, that's a firing. That's what the last sentence means.
It's like along with rational thought, all rules related to HIPPA have been thrown out the window as well.
TANGENT I'd be posting on the Reddit forum if I wasn't mega-banned and haven't put a ton of effort into VPN yet, but I wanted to say I do follow it and I am always impressed by the number of well read and historically educated folks that post there. Many very smart responses, amongst the turds. I'd name names but eh, another day.****
Yeah, something else was brought up too. The quality of the applicants is down too. Like we're scraping the bottom of the barrel.
I know. My take given the last few batches of apps I went through is we are seeing the slackers, that want to sit it out, starting to have to apply as the covid bonuses run out.
I had a entry level engineering position open and after posting it twice told someone "Out of the 36 apps I finally got, only two didn't have huge red flags."
I've never seen anything like this in nearly two decades of hiring.
It's going to be a fucking disaster for these kids who are sitting out.
I took a year off from school and it's the worst move I've ever made in my career. Employers treat you no differently from a convicted felon if you haven't worked in a year. Seriously: I might as well have not gone to college because I took a year off.
I honestly feel that there's going to be a ton of entitled brats that are going to be shocked that no one will pay them what they are asking for, and another ton of good people that thought they could sit on their ass for a while and are now going to be lumped in with them.
Yeah, it's all bad.
