Pros
The salary is fair and the benefit package is good.
Cons
President Biden has not issued a national mandate because the federal government has no statutory authority to do so, but Crown Castle (headquartered in TX) is strictly enforcing vaccine mandates for ALL employees, with NO exceptions. Crown Castle has refused to comply with the TX Governor's Executive Order banning vaccine mandates. All employees must submit proof of full vaccination by November 15th or be terminated and then ineligible to receive unemployment benefits. I am not against the vaccine. I have already had COVID-19 and I have natural immunity; recent research has proven that antibodies are more protective than the vaccine. The CDC confirms the vaccine will not prevent me from contracting COVID or spreading it, and the efficacy of the vaccines continues to decline. I am extremely concerned about the number of deaths and adverse events related to the mRNA vaccinations. What if I comply with Crown’s mandate and suffer cardiac issues or become disabled – what then? I also have strong personal religious convictions that leave me very conflicted about the mRNA vaccines, but Crown will not honor religious exemptions. Crown even refuses to allow any reasonable accommodations, like accepting my antibody test results, allowing me to submit regular COVID tests or to continue to work from home. I never anticipated having to face such a personal moral and ethical dilemma in my workplace. My employer is forcing me to undergo an irreversible and experimental medical treatment to feed my family and keep a roof over my head -- or destroy my life. Isn’t this a violation of my civil rights? I support a family and cannot afford to lose my job. I would like to connect with other employees who are experiencing the same relentless pressure to "hurry up and get the shot" and suffering the same immense stress my family and I are facing as we try to decide the best way forward. Please comment if you share my situation.
