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.

If you are already on the way out the door, just start filing NLRB complaints and violations against them. OSHA if it is relatable. For everything. Now you'e a whistleblower. When they come to relieve you, you can ask HR, "Oh, I see. This is because I reported the violations, right? I knew I shouldn't have done that. Is it legal for you to retaliate vs a whistelblower this way? Should I hire an attorney?" Maybe you'll get something out of it.

This. There is always something to report if you're looking for it.

A broken tile in the ceiling is a fire hazard. A wall socket where the cover doesn't completely cover the hole in the wall, or too many electrical devices plugged into one outlet is also a fire hazard. Blocked door/exit? Fire doors in hallways propped open? Fire hazard. Heavy equipment without emergency shutoffs? Personnel hazard. Ladder with a bent rung? Fall hazard. Items too close to the emergency eyewash station? OSHA violation. How many fire extinguishers do they have?
Sounds like a liberal shithole, so look up waste/recycling rules as well.
