Right, I was simply aiming for violently non-conform. As in, waiting by the door with your gun ready for when they come for you.
Like with the vaxx thing, plenty of people refused until the OSHA thing and finally caved because it ceased to be social pressure and became financial. And plenty more who held on past that would have caved to actual direct threats.
Only a few truly exceptional individuals are going to stick it out to the bitter end.
I was lucky to live in a red state and my boss was anti-biden and was ready to rubber stamp exemptions... but even still I was ready to be on the street over it. I have such an aversion to being forced to do something I disagree with that it just makes me want to resist more.
My boss had to pull three of us into a conference room to basically tell us to stop trying to quit over the mandates and testing requirements. I was really glad to have some leadership who had my back during that time, but I had already drafted up an exit plan to hand off all my work and was ready to walk.
Having enough money in the bank to be able to not work for a year or two helps with that. I just hope I can retain that will to walk away once they start zeroing out bank accounts for wrongthink.
I was already ready to walk over a number of other issues, so I took my protest a step further and said I was out if anyone was compelled to take the shot or to prove they had.
There were a couple of other people who took the same stance alongside me, and enough of us were sufficiently difficult to replace they caved.
Took them eighteen hours to walk it back to "we're going to see how SCOTUS rules" and then never say a word about it again.

Always be ready to walk
