For management, our drop dead date was 11October. We had to be fully vaxed and "die papieres" loaded into the portal. I know several who filed for and received the job accommodation. In fact, I don't know anyone who didn't get approved? Just curious if there were actually any holdouts that didn't request a medical or religious job accommodation, and also didn't take the jab. If so..any repercussions? Or is AT&T a paper tiger? Honestly, the more I thought about it all, the more I think AT&T is just that. A paper tiger. This "stunt" caused several to get vaccinated. I imagine the percentages went way up. Probably all they wanted. I doubt we ever hear a word about anyone actually getting fired.

Quit your bellyaching.
I've been my office after the 11th. Nothing is different.
the issue isnt if they will accept your job accomodation, its that they did this cr-p at all...shows they are into the woke/communist manifesto in the USA ONLY and i repeat ONLY to save their cash as C-suite. They truly dont give a damn about anything but $.
THe problem with the top corps is you have tenured staff that just want to work and be left alone, you have woke commies being hired into HR/front line mgmt and you have c-suite who just want to survive 5-10 yrs to retire with $.
There are companies out there who dont play this game...find them and leave.
@4uoc+1dkUPhhT - last I heard corporations aren't the law of the land.
you sound like you would fit in nicely in china. keep wearing your mask in public restrooms.
Governor Abbott of Texas issued an executive order prohibiting Covid vaccine mandates by any entity for the Sate of Texas. The Gov't is trying to overturn this but this may be why we are not hearing much about Covid vaccinations these days?.
Keep up the whining. The malcontents are worried and need your whining for support.
So the conspiracy was true after all. ATT can't finish the 5G rollout until everyone is vvaccinated.After everyone is vaccinated, we can safely turn up the 5G signals. Until then, it's just 5GE. Which is really LTE.
I really hope there will be COBC violations for not taking the vaccine. Freedom isn't just a one-way road. Businesses are fully within their rights to deny benefits, wages, and access.
If you don't want to play ball with the rest of society, then get out and go live in the woods.
The fact that US continues to lag behind all other major world powers is just sad and embarrassing.
Don't worry about it. You'll have plenty of time to worry later.
can't be repercussions when it was just a press release.
Stop that vaccine discussion. Who cares!!! Either you do it or not. There is nothing more to say. I’m sick of this topic.
It’s all about how your JA application is worded. It needs to be thoughtful, if religious: connected to scripture and not “church”, and accommodating in meeting the useless testing/ masking requirements. It appears to me that JA is approving and kicking ultimate decision to direct supervisors. The fact that we already know by the research out there that vaccination protects no one but the person vaccinated, it seems the company is using this “mandate” as a way to do a shadow surplus so no extra benefits have to be paid out. Logic says that if the real vulnerable are the unvaxxed, why are vaxxed exempt from testing, and why the push that everyone needs a shot or three in the first place. There’s no benefit and no more greater risk between the two populations in terms of contracting and transmitting or getting physically sick beyond asymptomatic spreading by vaxxed. This is all theater supported by the US Govt theater. The company has govt contracts, so they can blame the govt.
How can there be repercussions if direct Management chain is approving wihtout issue?
@cnf+1dkUPhhT and his repeated "paper tiger" comments is a riot.
My manager was denied. After rewording his application he was approved. A tip would be to not be confrontational in your appeal.
if you think there haven't been repercussions then you're not paying attention
