I have a negative outlook on my employer.

I wish I could run away and live somewhere else. But I'm concerned about the job market.

Maybe you all have guessed this about me, but I never took the covid shots. Zero shots. I don't know if the discrimination between vaxxed and unvaxxed still exists in other workplaces.

I took the 1st 2 b/c of pressure from family (otherwise I wouldn't have but I didn't have a problem taking them b/c I think they're placebos, more completely useless than anything)

My employer (about 100 employees) don't care if we are or not, but our parent company in the big city does so if you work for the parent company directly, yeah, they'd have an issue, if you work for the subsidiary, I guess they don't have power on that.

I had thought employers aren't supposed to "discriminate" on that, but I guess some do anyways. Maybe it was just the federal government employee mandate was struck down.

No reason to be concerned about job market! It's rough out there, but persistence in finding employment isn't necessarily bad. One will say yes.

Where would you run away to?

Where would you run away to?

On Gab it was going around that there are three vials of the shot marked numerically. If the vial had a 1, it's a placebo. That's what the politicians were given. If the vial had a 2, that's the one causing blood clots. If the vial had a 3, that's the one causing very bad stuff like cancer.

Where I work, corporate, HR, and certain managers bribed, bullied, and harassed us to get the shot in 2021. Anyone permanently hired before January 2022 did not have to get the shot but anyone permanently hired after January 2022 does (a temp can currently work there without the shot). The unvaxxed had to take a covid test every week and wear masks (this only lasted two months fortunately). We were treated like criminals; any unvaxxed that tested positive was sent home and isolated for two weeks. Some of the vaxxed workers were coming in sick with covid, but HR didn't care and treated them much better than us.

I would like to run away to Tennessee. It's different than where I live. They're doing good stuff down there like making Ivermectin available over the counter. The people down there are nice. No income tax.

What is Gab?
I didn’t know it’s causing bad stuff like that. I did hear it’s causing some infertility issues & briefly got concerned about that, still kind of hits my mind randomly.

That’s terrible! What kind of bullying, bribery, & harassment? I know for a while they could fire you, but those seem even worse.

We never had to get tests (I never have) but we had to wear masks up until about late last year, which I always thought was dumb. Do you work in healthcare maybe? Are there maybe a lot of older employees who are concerned?

Ahhh, temp being able to work without the shot……That’s my problem w/ all this. There’s always dumb exceptions that make you think ‘if it was really as bad as they said it was, there wouldn’t be any exceptions.’ Totally dumb.

TN is good. I do hear they’re doing a lot of good stuff there. I also hear Memphis is really bad tho, so don't run away to Memphis there if you run away to TN. The South is definitely appealing, but every state has their good pockets.....& bad pockets.

What is Ivermectin? Why do you think TN is making it available OTC but other states aren’t?

Gab is the free speech version of Twitter. Real free speech. So when you go on there, you're going to see various shocking stuff, but it's a great place to get the truth on various things.

I work in reverse logistics. We have various ages working there - Boomers to Gen Z. It was corporate's idea on the shot (they're in California but we're not). They paid people time off to get the shot. Every week for 3-4 months in 2021 they would bring up the shot and make it seem like your freedom and employment depended on it. When I started there in 2020, we all had to wear masks. There would be times where they would let those that had at least two shots to go mask free.

Ivermectin is medicine that has been proven to cure people of covid and cancer. Some doctors across the US were refusing to give it to patients that needed it, so Tennessee decided to make it available without visiting a doctor.

I am really bothered by smokers who go around not caring about their smoke reaching others who are their. I will most probably die from that. I have COPD and was never a smoker, but second hand smoke most probably gave it to me, I was never doing anything with how I live to contribute to it, and it changed everything for me, I have to live differently and it is with being very careful. And I notice these careless smokers all the more, they are the ones who should have gotten the COPD that I got stuck with.

I'm sorry that's happened to you. When my maternal grandma was still alive she was diagnosed with COPD. She was never a smoker. It was from living with two smokers (my grandpa and one of my aunts).

At my workplace, the smoking area is right by the door. So during breaks and lunch, the smoke comes into the building and can travel in quite a distance. It's disgusting. I've complained about it before but it got ignored.

I understand that smoke even from smokers really travels and will go inside a place from them while they smoke outside. I have experienced that. It is disgusting addictive behavior. There are ways to overcome compulsions like going to smoke, there is not excuse to not try do any of those. Loss is hard on any, especially if it is seen as unfair, I know, and I am sorry for your loss. To be sure, having what I was diagnosed as having was cheating me, I really have taken care of myself with not being a smoker and living in increasing healthy ways, that I started before that diagnosis and issues that led me to go get it checked. But I look for good in things and I do see how I was led to focus doing a lot with my time I still have on what is important to me, and it includes writing a lot with my creativity, that I wanted to do, and have things that would be published from that.

I never took the vaxx, any of them, either. I didn't have anything depending on it, and I'm thankful for that, I'm sure I still would not have taken it. And I wasn't letting myself get tested either, and gave up things I would still have had opportunity for, for good, because of that. I was very reasonably careful, as I knew I should be, I am vulnerable, all that time and now still, and I never got COVID at all, as I was careful to not be exposed to it, and the discrimination is there, for real, but the things others with that have said to me were all wrong. I didn't suffer anything as I likely would have with being vaccinated, and I am still here. I am still writing well too.

I wish God would talk to me. I want to be his friend. :cookie::cookie::custard::custard::icecreamcone::icecreamcone:
He talks to all of his children . (Those Born Again)
Like I know he talks to me I'm just not consciously aware of it yet.
Still maturing in my faith so.
Maybe it's the same for you?
