My liberal workplace is finally going full commie. It was only a matter of time working for a company in the middle of a leftist hellscape, but I'm still shocked how quickly they rolled out these new commandments with no prior warning or employee feedback.
They've already made face coverings (masks/face shields) mandatory, and also just dropped a mandatory 1.5 hr "unconscious bias" training course on us as some stupid "CEO diversity and inclusion pledge" earlier this year to be completed by december. I was willing to postpone the course until after the election to see if they'd get spanked by Trump since we're technically a federal contractor (we do occasional work for the military) and he put out that new executive order against critical race theory. Who the fuck knows if he's all talk on this one or not.
To my joy, we all just got an email today about how now the flu vaccine is mandatory and we have to sign up for the at-work clinic by the end of this month. No further clarification outside of "THIS SIGN UP IS REQUIRED". Now I have to go have a useless conversation with HR that I already know the outcome of, and I suspect I'll have to contact an exemptions lawyer. I really like my job, but there's no fucking way they're injecting me with poison to keep it. If I can legally avoid it, I'd like to stay, but I'm more than willing to walk away on this one.

Sign up for the final day. Get to know the injector person from the start. See if you can pay them to empty yours into the sink.
If all else fails, don't show up for work that day. Keep putting it off as long as you can.

Just went over this exact scenario with a confidant. Easier to do at a private clinic though, since that's allowed if we want. You know, money exchanges parties, get the signed paperwork-- maybe a needleis involved, maybe not. ;)

Good luck! Stand strong. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty about doing whatever's necessary to be sovereign.
