Vaccine Conversation Today

Was in a production meeting waiting for it to start. People were talking about random things and of course "Covid" gets brought up. (please realize the irony that I am in a closed & unventilated room with these people..because they were willing to share their vaccine status they get to be maskless...because i refuse to share my status they assume i am not vaccinated and therefore force me to wear a mask).

Production Assistant: "Hey, did you all notice how its literally ONLY the engineers and programmers who don't want to get vaccinated? Why is that?"

Machinist: "They have critical thinking skills. Most of the people here (motioning to the room) do what they're told at work and in life".

Room went dead silent, a few people chuckled, am starting to get really turned off by people. =/ Was very uncomfortable sitting there as a "second class" employee with a mask on.

  • i'm not afraid of being unemployed.

    my work is playing a game. they are trying to make us uncomfortable & get the unworthy ones to leave.

    jokes on them. working here literally IS my unemployment. i use this opportunity to read, work out, learn more about gd&t, help others on this forum, and job hunt. am happy to take their very easy money.

    note:
    while i am here, i give them a solid 8 hrs work that i feel good about. that said they have lost my respect..above & beyond time is far gone.. it is time to go when the correct situation presents itself


    I guess I'm a different breed, I come to work, I have fun doing it, believe or not everyone enjoys, not only my work ethic, but my personality. Another company I worked for was big on Pizza parties, birthday parties, other stuff like this, and I just didn't involve myself in that, and they would always make a big deal about it, because the whole company would show up except me. I always told them, I think it's great that you do this for your employees, but if I want to have a pizza party or birthday party or whatever, I don't want to do this while I work, these are things I like to do on my free time. So after 6 months when I had quit this job, They were calling me up asking if I would come back offering me more money and such, They then added "now here's the deal, you have to be more involved with the pizza parties and birthday parties, etc" Now, to me the extra money isn't worth it, plus it's further to travel. and already starting to dictate stupid sh_it. because that's where it starts the corny stuff then it just gets worse from there, You're situation, That's why I took this job that I'm at now. My boss is not in my business nor anyone else. but is in to your well being. He bought masks, said " No one has to wear them, but if you feel more comfortable wearing them, here they are, If anybody gets sick from this Covid thing, please stay home, I'll pay you up to 2 weeks not taking away from your vacation." and he continued on giving his employees the world. I pulled him off to the side and told him" "You're going to have to be an azz sometime or someone is gonna take advantage of you" Point is, You can stay there and tell yourself, I'll take there money and do not much of anything, and make it sound all good, but you already come to the conclusion you're not to happy with the environment that you're in.

    Old machinist words to me " You can always polish a turd, but in the end, it's till a turd."
