(Readers, I didn’t want to end this week on a sour note. It’s easy for HR to act like this, but actual operational managers aren’t going to be so ideological when someone good is getting axed over something so dumb. The workers have a strong hand, play it! If one of my best people refused the vaccine I would be fighting HR with all my might to get an exception for them. Seriously, companies really cant afford to lose good people now. Someone is going to find some clever way to hire unvaccinated despite Biden’s order because frankly there aren’t enough workers to go around (unless the feds really change visa policy) The companies are already losing talent like crazy in the “great resignation”. So honestly, I feel like if you can financially handle it, call their bluff and let them try to terminate you. Then all over in the service sector like restaurants and hospitality there are help wanted signs and terrible service because they cant stay staffed up, at least where I live. Plus we are getting a lot of people poached by other firms.
We are forced to substantially raise offers.
Yet I am also a manager (IT & analysis stuff) having a hell of a time trying to hire right now since there is so much competition for talent. My company, as with many others, are threatening termination to those who wont get the vaccine, even for people who work 100% remote. I’m struck by the cross-purposes these HR departments are working at.
