These companies enacted vaccine mandates in the late summer to fall of 2021, and 12-15 months later the employees who vaccinated to keep their job ended up losing it anyway.

So if they had walked away last year and kept themselves vaccine free, they would have kept their morals and pride and be able to look for work without competing with tens of thousands of other similarly skilled people.

Now they are vaccinated, losing their health insurance at some point, and are now scrambling to figure out employment.

Feels like karmic blowback a bit.
