Hi, I worked in Healthcare IT at the time. I was FORCED to get the vaccine or lose my job instantly. You are incorrect pfizer, and should know better than to make such a moron blanket statement.

I've turned down jobs because the company was planning to force it. Avoided applying for plenty of jobs I was perfectly qualified for because the company required it. Quit one company for various reasons, but one that added to it was managers were tossing around the idea of requiring it.

Turned down =/= losing a job in the middle of a whole country employment downturn. Even with savings there would be no way to survive 2-3 years... and that is assuming I would not be able to find another job... course as high end IT, during the pandemic all projects and acquisitions on hold, unless I take a Deskside job at 1/20th my salary, I'd be fucked... so pretty forced, and they knew it. I quit the second I could and told them to go fuck themselves. Since I left (MSP) they have lost ALL their major contracts, half the staff quit, lost their building, had to sell the moron CEOS yachts, and just FINALLY are being acquired by another company just for their remaining staff. You don't fuck with the guys literally carrying your business.. especially ones that work 80-100 hours a week for 6 years and get paid no OT and no pay raises either. There was about 1000 reasons I fucked off.

Good on YOU. This might become a class action law suit but I'm not a lawyer.

Each was in right to work states, so even though I am a MSP, my company is also in a right to work state, so they just passed down the mandate. Unfortunately unless it is my religious beliefs, a company can mandate shots... and I am atheist or spiritualist... so nope :(

Don't pollute language. You were coerced, not forced.

Don't pollute language

but I repeat myself. Just because it worms its way into a dictionary doesn't mean it's proper.

And you are what, more of an authority than the dictionary?

How about we look at the etymology of the word then Mr. Scholor.. "c. 1300, forcen, also forsen, "exert force upon (an adversary)," from Old French forcer "conquer by violence," from force "strength, power, compulsion" (see force (n.)). From early 14c. as "to violate (a woman), to rape." From c. 1400 as "compel by force, constrain (someone to do something)." Meaning "bring about by unusual effort" is from 1550s. Card-playing sense is from 1746 (whist). Related: Forced; forcing"

Sure seems to me like "strength, power, compulsion" fit the bill for your company dictating get the jab or you are fired.

A nation comprises three things:

  • borders
  • language
  • culture

by saying force when what you intend is coerce, you are helping the communists win, which is bad praxis

also the word you want there is pedantic
