That is a private company making a decision about their work environment. You don't have the right to demand that they cater to your requirements.

- bdangubic 2y agoI work for the government
- Dylan16807 2y agoThen they're just an employer to you. They're not acting as rule-maker. It's very different from a legal requirement that applies to all jobs.
- bdangubic 2y agothis would be true… if you lived in fucking china or north korea and someone controller “all jobs”
- Retric 2y agoYou have that relationship reversed. If you work for the FBI you can quit at any time and work for a different companies with different rules. You can’t work for a company that gets to ignore minimum wage laws.
- bdangubic 2y agothis all makes sense of course, I am not forced to stay at the FBI. however, I just might: - love what I do and love the team I am on a my mission. - have a career at fbi, not a “job” I am willing to change like underwear - be gs-15 few years away from retirement/pension/… you can technically say this is a “free” country and all that but it is just semantics
- Retric 2y agoYou don’t lose a pension when you quit, you simply qualify for fewer years served. A career extends beyond a job means that you can transition to something related outside the FBI. If there some aspect of a job you dislike then quit.
- bdangubic 2y agowe can go glass-half-full-glass-half-empty back and forth ad nausem here for sure :) bottom line though, the then government (which is soon to be now government) went full ballistic on us during COVID times and vaccine mandates affected many lives
- Retric 2y agoOnly some parts of the government “required” their employees to get vaccinated, the entire US government didn’t. Even those bits only hit ~98% compliance. When you volunteer to work for someone you’re agreeing to do what they want or quit, that’s by definition a choice. When many private employers had the same requirements complaining about overreach by the government is misplaced, it’s at most overreach by employers.
- bdangubic 2y ago“only” 98% compliance should tell you all you need to know whether people are “forced” or not… the prospect of losing your job might not be that alarming for HN-average-person but…
- Retric 2y agoYou can hit 100% compliance by actually firing people. 98% means lot’s of scary memo’s and little action. So yea 98% says a lot about how toothless this all was.
