Anyone else have their RE denied? Or willing to share if theirs was approved? I am looking for commonalities on how they made their decisions. Or any insight really.

Ill bet cash they declined a majority of folks over a certain age same way they target them for layoffs
Since the CDC is now pushing a fourth jab, does TIAA require employees to have four shots? If they only require two, seems to suggest it’s all bs and just for show (another check mark on their woke agenda). It’s either a true mandate and should follow all guidance or should be scrapped all together. You can’t have your cake and eat it too TIAA. Maybe as their staff starts dropping dead of strokes, heart attacks and reignited cancer they will loosen up on the mandate of this ineffective, unnecessary and unsafe “vaccine”
So true about working together. I’d bet that there are people in upper management there who got a free pass on the vaccine mandate. I’ll bet if good class action lawyers conducted discovery, they’d find that the policy was not applied equally across the board and that they conducted the purge and review of appeals in a very hap-hazard way. I’ll bet their records show very little attention paid to the merits of individual appeals and that far more attention was paid to making sure the process wouldn’t expose them to liability. They put up a good front of being competent and accurate, But if you can force them to actually show their records, it turns out they do many important things that affect employees lives in a sloppy, subjective way. Their whole HR department is a bunch of cowardly hatchet women and men who don’t know the law and don’t stand up for what’s right and honest. They do whatever the managers want done. Their job is to make sure the company is protected, NOT that the company obeys employment or civil rights law and NOT to make sure TIAA treats employees with integrity. That department is full of heartless yes-men and yes-women. They’re just the cleanup crew for management when management decides to swings the axe.
One of the benefits TIAA enjoys is our willingness to be silent and invisible. Fear of repercussions keeps us on a site that protects our identity. When we don’t know who is in the same position we can’t operate effectively. We need to connect to support each other. Someone has to be willing to step forward. We are stronger together.
@RE Denial. Did they at least offer you a package? Unemployment? This company has stressed so many people out. Not only due to the Pandemic but for other reasons as well. At this point, I sure workers wouldn't care if they offered a decent package.
I can’t believe people can have their livelihood taken from them just because they choose not to take a vaccine that has no long term data on side effects. Shouldn’t that be a personal choice someone makes with input from their doctor and not some HR hump? Not everyone biologically or chemically equal. A vaccine that might be safe for most could cause major problems and interactions for others. It could be lethal for a few people. Why force people into that? There are other ways to deal with it in the workplace. Like work from home…..oh wait, they already outlawed that. It’s all a cover to reduce headcount. Pure and simple.
Wow! I thought the "exited" situation ended in March. I had no idea it was still going on. Sorry you lost your job but this was mentioned several times prior. As for you reason, I'm guessing it wasn't on their list.
@yezs Sorry to hear about your recent layoff. But you were warn for months this will happen. No injustice just the way things are. Maybe you can find a remote role, because most of the cos in Charlotte have the same mandate.
Today is 6/15/22. I was terminated for vaccine non compliance. I was located in Charlotte. My RE was denied as well as a medical accommodation request with multiple MD proof due to a disability that developed earlier this year. Want to know if others are out there who have been wronged as I have and are looking to band together to fight this injustice.
Like everything at TIAA, there is a cover story. That's what the Vax mandate is for them. A way to get rid of overhead without the media or the clients suspecting the truth. They are struggling and face some legal cases that could spell the end. It's why they moved from New York to Texas (avoid the Southern District of NY courts). It's why they haven't paid off the 6 Billion in Surplus notes. (the interest is more than they guarantee in the Traditional account, so why didn't they raise that money from participants and pay them the interest?) That's why offered severance to 75% of their workforce. (Who does that if they aren't in dire straights?) That's why they reduced additions to reserves last year by 7 Billion. Eventually they'll run out of ways to cut costs and kick the creative accounting can down the road.
The fact this company is still keeping this vax charade up is laughable. Forcing employees (and now new hires) to get something that is unnecessary, ineffective and arguably unsafe (time will tell) when the pandemic is over for all intents and purposes will ultimately hurt TIAAs ability to hire talent. On the other hand, talented employees may not be what TIAA cares about so mission accomplished if that's the case.
I am in TX my exemption was approved- ONLY because state law protects me. Who you vote for does matter
Those in FL are protected too
CO, NC - mass “exits” next week
For those being “exited” please band together and sue the sh-t out of TIAA
I only know of denials. Sue them...that's the only way.
