You will have to provide proof of vaccination by December 8th. If you are not interested in the vaccination you will be off payroll 45 days later.

If your vaccinated why wouldn't you want to work with me if I'm not? Why do you care? Oh because you can still get covid if your vaccinated. OH because the vaccine doesn't work....think about that you mo--n.
Good. Maybe it will prevent unnecessary deaths. People won’t get the vaccine, but they’ll take a horse dewormer.
Simple fix, IMHO. Many of us have worked from home for 18 months and NEVER meet the customer. Many can do thei jobs just fine from home. Leave us here and leave us ALONE
Total US deaths in US due to COVID - 723, 785. its real
This three day old rumor was confirmed yesterday at work. All I hope is that the RIF by the end of the year rumor is as trustworthy as this one was!!!
Its good to see more people commenting on getting the vaccine 💉 vs not
For all those not vaccinated or refusing to get vaccinated. Do what you wish but your days are numbered working for Verizon. I certainly don’t want to work for you or with you if you’re not.
post below should be for @2hst+1disDDxk
@2ebz+1disDDxk. The post you are referring to clearly states what you are saying
Wow you posted this 24hrs early. The notice today did not say anything about off payroll in 45 days. Unpaid time possible job lost. But won’t everyone who doesn’t want vaccine just claim religious reason?
The President also signed an Executive Order directing that this standard be extended to employees of contractors that do business with the federal government.
That would be Verizon.
It's 12/8 for all except Retail. Retail is 2/1. All new hires after 1/1 have to be vaccinated to be hired. VCG work from home is exempt. Union currently exempt, but that could change.
And forgot to mention, there has been NO executive order for private sector companies. The executive order from last month has only been for federal workers. VZ is using the excuse that since they do business with and have contact & contracts with federal workers & the federal government, the entire company as a result should have a vax mandate.
It’s a pretty shaky and thin rationalization, but they want to appear woke. They could care less about the health and safety of their employees. And as expected, they are always followers and not leaders.
A federal judge in Texas on Tuesday already issued a temporary restraining order TRO for United airlines mandatory vaccine mandate for employees wishing to be exempt. It was only a matter of time before that happened.
After all, Federal judges, Circuit Court of Appeals, etc. blocked a lot of the previous President’s EOs with TROs, injunctions, etc
What comes around goes around.
If that’s true about February, that’s yet another example of VZ being reactive and not proactive. Typical.
“People are mad at VZ for complying. No one is forcing you to take the vaccine. The same way no one is forcing you to work at VZ. Good luck finding a job at another large company”
People are actually mad at the legalized extortion and coercion. Please, it’s careers & livelihoods, not the choice between Coke instead of Pepsi or Burger King instead of McDonald’s, that a simple ton like you are making it out to be
People are mad at VZ for complying. No one is forcing you to take the vaccine. The same way no one is forcing you to work at VZ. Good luck finding a job at another large company.
If you don't stand up now, what will be next? Mandated birth control, mandated future dr-gs, no this needs to be stopped here and now. It should be optional.. not forced
I love all these keyboard tough guys who say they won't do it. It's the union agrees your a-s will be in line to get the shot. You won't want to give up the gravy job you have now when you do nothing to pay well. Not for the fools who say 99% survive there are 700,000 Plus voiceless people who have now due to this horrible virus. How's this for real numbers one out of every 500 people above the age of 18 have died
It’s BS. We don’t know what the long term effects are this yet. This is way to control population. If you have to provide proof for this vaccine why not the other ones you have gotten in your lifetime. This should be no different. Corrupt government, in general. Our constitutional rights are being taken away one at a time.
It's amazing how many people actually do research. If you did, you wouldn't take the vaccine. But since you didn't then you are just sheep. At the end of the day, we will see who is standing tall in 3 to 5 years. Get your blood check and let me know what your doctor says. Live long and prosper!
Just announced on Up To Speed and just got email from Craig Silliman. Vaccine mandate by 12/8 for all non-union employees. VZ talking to union now and expect union to also comply.
It's so they can get you back in the offices to garner control. No other reason. They can put the health spin on it all they want but since other CEO's have done similar policies they're not the first and can follow suit.
Statistically a lot of people talk the talk but end up not walking the walk because they realize suddenly looking for any job (even in this market)
Curious to see how many people we see bail. Could open up room for growth.
Its simple Math and Common Sense. Its not about mandates. Its not about Freedom, ITS ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH . Please , Please , Please GET VACCINATED. If not, this pandemic will never end and we could have 1 Million dead by the end of 2021 from COVID19 Else we’ll be playing “Welcome to the Jungle” at your Funeral.
aint happening because it wasn't a mandate or a recommendation. Either way how could you be so terrible to force people to take the jab. The narrative is crumbling as we speak. Their blaming trump for the lack of effectiveness of the vaxx lol
The company will negotiate with the Union. The Union will allow it because they already have at AT&T. End of Story.
good luck with this.
Wait wait wait.. keys are going to turn this into a labor issue now versus a health issue? There's a surprise
Good, keep thinning the herd.
Management and wireless. 🐑
Must be a management thing because the Union hasn't notified me of this.
Good excuse to lower headcount.
This is a lie
