Thread regarding IBM layoffs

IBM wants the vaccine mandate so it can increase sales of their "Digital Health Pass" product. https://www.ibm.com/products/digital-health-pass

Everyone should consider the science and choose wisely. https://wmbriggs.com/post/37874/

Be aware the mandate has NOT been published by Biden. I’m glad I retired on my terms this year.

For those who have registered their vaccination with TrustAssure/CLX prior to Oct 7th, your status has not been shared with IBM yet. TrustAssure/CLX is supposed to update your vaccination status to IBM on Oct 27. Hopefully, that will happen and will be confirmed. If not, then good luck!!!

I have not heard the date is changing.. everyone I talk to says it is 12/8. Where did you hear it was not 10/26?

Yet another lie from IBM management, Arvind and the Human Riffing department. The last date for forced vaccinations is Oct 26, not Dec 8. If the employee does not update the status by then, he/she will be placed on "unpaid leave" whatever that means. They will probably fire and the bi den administration is working to ensure that you dont get any or minimal welfare benefits. 1984 Orwell is here. Heil Bi den.

"Biden just handed IBM yet another opportunity to reduce its US workforce."

On the plus side, this time it will be people we really could do without. Instead of losing our best, brightest, and most experienced to FAANG, we'll be shedding the dim, the arrogant, and the selfish.

Be aware, very few people are going to get religious exemptions. If you've taken vaccines in the past but suddenly "got religion" over Covid, that's not going to fly.

You might also want to ask yourself what it says about your character if you're willing to lie about your religious beliefs to avoid a vaccine. If you don't want the vaccine, at least be honest about it.

Most large employers wanted a Vaccine Mandate by the government. It takes them off the hook for legal issues from employees. I get it that people do not want to be told what to do (it's their body). In this case the "federal contractor" issue was important too in the decision i would think. I do think "remote only" employees deserve a break on this.

@5lce+1dcx9MBR so you think defending one's individual liberty is being a "snowflake?" I dont think that word means what you think it means.

Grab your popcorn everybody.

IBM Will Follow Biden Vaccine Order, Defying Texas Ban --

I can't wait to get a jab so effective that those who've received it fear those who haven't.

The "nobody will tell me what to do crowd" who blame the "left" for everything is surely whining a lot about private companies deciding what are the conditions of employment - in this case, you need to be vaccinated.

How is capitalism working for you? LOL

Love all the snowflakes who can't take a vaccine because, well "No one's going to tell me what to do!"

Go ahead, don't take the shot. leave your job. go broke. stay out of my air space.

But please do not clog up the hospitals when you get sick. Please just stay at home so you don't have to ride in a car, buckle your seat belt, stop at stop signs, and all those other things you get told what to do. Enjoy the bleach injections.

GD right! Texas will stand-up to tyranny.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott bans 'any entity' from enforcing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate --

A good article to read and check out the links... think about it for a while.. why are they rolling this out like this? Even the old IBM credit union, now Hudson Valley Credit Union, is mandating the "shot" Their CEO and VP of HR are willing to loose a lot of good people because they want to look good to who ever is pulling their strings. Might be because the CEO is on the board of the company that runs vassar hosp.

well here is the link .....

Imagine a totalitarian national security state joining corporate and government power in a way that Mussolini could have only dreamed dedicated solely to assuaging the hurt feelings of women and minorities. You don't have to imagine this dystopia. You're living in it.

Lets stop using the terms anti-vax and anti-vaxer These are very misleading terms and more along the line just trying to shut people up (like calling some one a ra-ist, when they are not.

I am not anit-vax, I have all mine and my children do too. What I am is anti mandate of this SHOT.

so call the people who are against the shot what they truly are - anti-covid19-shot

Happy indigenous people day. I am sure Ibm would have been behind the trail of tears too!!!

Look what anti-vaxxers are doing to Southwest Airlines right now. There are enough anti-vaxxers to knock the house of cards known as the US economy down, a house of cards built on a shaky foundation of fiat money and usury.

Wow There are so many covidiots at ibm.

It's ok guys don't take the vaccine and make it easy on ibm to lay you off 🙂

if you care about this country then it's obvious you should no longer support democrats.

The jab isn't for your protection. The authoritarian left (pardon me for repeating myself) needs you to submit without hesitation, without question so that its decrees become easier and easier to force upon you. It's about eroding resistance to the authoritarian state.

Fox news is right wing and anti vaccine?
reminder: Trump got the vaccine rolled out with op warp-speed.

"You should be denied medical care..." Soooo, I guess this $hit mentality applies to alcoholics who choose to drink, obese people who continue to overeat, addicts who continue to do dr-gs, cancer patients who choose homeopathic options rather than chemo... Let's here it for the people who stand for compassion and 'my body my choice'. Smdh

Freedom and democracy were born in the genes of the Europeans who gentrified this continent. Economic parasites who arrived here only yesterday to exploit the nation built by their betters, such as AK, don't feel freedom in their blood the way descendants of European immigrants do. This is America's future if the nation's founding stock does nothing to stop it.

My health is my concern, not yours. Your health is your concern, not mine.

Figure out a way to collect disability. Hone those acting skills.

Counterfeit vaccination cards aren't difficult to find.

from missive above:

"you are strongly encouraged to do so by November 8, 2021. Requests submitted after this date may not be reviewed by December 8, 2021"

In other words, anyone already on the existing RA list who has not been vaccinated will be RAd on Thursday November 11th, and your last day will be in early December so we won't have to match your 401K. There will be a further round of RAs on Thursday December 9 of all remaining non-vaccinated employees.

Covid-19 exists only on your television and in your newspaper.

This is yet another scam by IBM to reduce headcount. HR has already done a correlation analysis, and determined that those who won't get vaccinated are likely the same folks they want to get rid of anyway ... and the vaccine mandate from the Government gives IBM the legal cover to fire people without getting sued. Wake up and smell the coffee, folks ... IBM was once a great company, but working there now totally sucks ba--s ... and you're just deluding yourself if you think otherwise. 😕

Take a man's job, smugly snicker as he loses his home and his family faces starvation, then find out what a man with nothing left to lose is willing to do. You will learn the meaning of the word loss.

All whose jobs are at risk because you won't allow yourself to be injected with poison and disease, remember that your entire management hierarchy from your supervisor up to the CEO have names and addresses. Collect intelligence, reconnoiter, train.

One thing most of the posts here show.you dont have to be very smart to work at IBM
Get VAXXED or die mo--ns.
