Let's just double down on forced government control shall we. Fuck fauci. I'm a gov contractor, been fighting the mandate this whole time. Finally got my "accommodation" in my email (timing was funny, about 20 minutes after news hit that the mandate was blocked by a federal judge).

Already had covid. Still not sick again. In commiefornia where covid is "everywhere" not too concerned about it. I'll keep my natural immunity. Thanks.
 
He talks a big talk knowing that he will have henchmen doing the heavy lifting for him.


I have been fighting for my job this whole time as well. I work for a rather large IT company and submitted for my accommodation back in early October. Still waiting to hear back.... :mad3:
This is really taking a mental and physical toll on me not knowing what my future professional and financial life is all because I wont 'just get the jab' for something that has a 99.98% survival rate. Like... I physically hurt from this shit. I wake up at around 0300 in a fight or flight reaction every night and get body slammed by this anxiety and stress.

I only pray that one day the gallows will creak and strain under the weight of those who have wronged us.

You're not alone there. The uncertainty still bugs me but I have a plan whether I keep or lose my job, that helps deal with facing the unknown. At the beginning I was able to find a stable path financially that would cover me for at least a year to help weather any storms headed my way, most of it just involved decreasing spending. This also helps bulk up the savings on the meantime thereby extending my timeframe. I know who my support group is too if I need help.

Those 3 things can make this very easily manageable.

I feel you.

It's pretty likely my entire department is going to close at the end of this year and I'm dreading the hell out of having to actually deal with any of this bullshit.
I don't have the patience to put up with people's bullshit anymore, especially fake clown world bullshit.

No :rainbow:
I feel you, I have been struggling with the same shit but I decided if I get canned so be it and I will start a business that I normally wouldn't have the balls to do. The universe telling me to do so if you will.

Loyal kickass professionals seldom fair worse when forced to change jobs.
You got this. :beer:

You are definitely not the only one. My stress levels have been through the roof for months. My cousin works for my company as well and is the sole provider for the household. Her husband is/was a nurse and is not allowed to even continue working completely remotely without getting the shot. Now its down to her. She makes good money where she's at and finally got her accommodation, but how long is this going to last? It's all fuckin nuts.

Quite a few of us are there, in one form or another..

Pre-covid, my view on mental health was you were either apussy or had ptsd from battle/ trauma, not the bullshit whiny **** stuff.

Today, the toll that has beaten me up through covid, work wise (I'm the boss) and personal life has been tremendous, emotionally, physically and mentally.

Much like you, some nights irregardless of any attempt, I cant sleep until 1am, wake up early, scared of the dark, anxiety creep. I've tried the calm app, reading books, more activities (period) in nature, more time with the kids.

My breaking point came (in terms of how I thought I was handling it) when my 4yo daughter drew a picture of mom and dad. Each one was split into quadrants, with faces drawn and illegible writing. But mom was happy/ silly/poopybutt /sleepy. Dad was mad/sad/ tired/ "this is when you are at work and we make food for you because you are at work and not at home and mommy and I make you cookies"

That hits hard.

"Just keep swimming, that's what dorrrrry says." :beer:
 
I got past all the worrying and anxiety last month, I was to the point of ready to go this week. I think it was when I heard the extra restrictions placed on people who were granted the religious exemption was the final straw. I said fuck'em I'm done.
I'm 57 and was planning on finishing my career at this company, it was a real kick in the nutz to say the least. but I'm sitting pretty good with basically everything paid for except my truck and I'm thinking real serious about selling it and put 50k in the bank.

I sure hope you can make some changes after admitting that. They only get one childhood and you only get one shot at parenting.

That being said, I had a similar situation with my 11 year old step daughter, 2 days ago. She, my wife and I were sitting at the table eating dinner, I mentioned that I was thinking about taking Sunday off. Without missing a beat, she said, Big James, you should just take the whole weekend off, its so much better when you are here and not working. We at least get good cooked breakfast for 2 days. :lmao::lmao: I love you too kid. Seriously, it hit me hard, almost had a tear. She was right and I was thankful for her saying that.
The decision was easy to make at that point.

I have been working 62 hour weeks all through November and had planned on december as well. Big project at work, that I had been planning on walking away from. Well, being walked out for no vax.

I am one of the last people that I know at my company to hold out on vax or exemption. I was and am extremely ready to walk. We just got the email from the ceo, vax mandate is dropped.

I glad to be able to say it when most around me cowered.....WILL NOT COMPLY!!!

Mine too. And to be honest, it's not necessarily COVID or the tyrannical measures, but more so seeing how many sheep go along and question nothing. I was pretty much a misanthrope before COVID. So you can guess where I stand now.

I actively do.

I'm good at what I do. I've had the conversation with mywife, my business partner and the team about my stepping back, or stepping out completely. Everyone is accommodating what they can to keep me in my position, while acknowledging I may at some point just need a sabbatical. I've considered full on moving to Franklin tennessee (from Iowa) to reboot but limit myself. Or idaho. Or Washington. Fleeting moments to escape it.

Some days I can only muster working from home, slightly due to anxiety, slightly to performance anxiety, and partially out of guilt to not weigh down the team and keep a stronger facade.

It has flipped me 180 degrees into caring about our peoples mental health. I was caring and understanding before, but only if I could outright see an issue or you brought it to me. Now, I'll ask them, I'll be forward with them about it, do they need something, how's x going in life, can I help with that y issue. I know you wanted a partial day, how's a full day? They know why, they don't take advantage. This year, between Xmas and nye, we've told clients our focus is to get out people at home with loved ones, so projects will be slow during to week (pre planned)

It helps me, helping people, to cope, but that doesn't negate my needing help and outlets.

Partial point to make, is not just employees, although there are far more employees than employers, but the burden and weight of it on employers is tremendous. Not all employers are decent, but they are carrying your burden as well as all other burdens. Chances are if you are feeling at, so is your wife, kids, neighbor, Co worker, boss, client, whether you agree with their political/ covid stance or not, become a community and help overcome it (don't confuse that for get the shot or anything other than what I posted).

I'm not a therapist, I'm probably not good at therapy, but if anyone is having a tough time, more than a few of us will take PM if you need to bend an ear. Reach out....fags:flipoff2::stirthepot::grinpimp:
 
Listen men, we’re all dealing with, or have been dealing with, this absolute unnecessary burden of stress and doubt. I was working two jobs in preparation of being fired, running myself absolutely ragged. My wife finally begged me to quit the other job, because she never sees me anymore.

About a month ago I let all of this absolutely go. I don’t even care how some people will judge me for this, but man, I literally just said I’m done and left it up to God. Not everyone believes, but I have zero worry about our future anymore. We’ve been taken care of our whole marriage, so I can’t see anything but blessings ahead, whether I’m still at my current job, or looking for a new job. SOMETHING will come about.

I have absolutely no trust or faith in mankind anymore and it’s been for the better.

Yeah, I've started branching out and talking to people on different forums, kind of a milgram experiment of my own. Trying to figure out how they can't see the blatant suppression of information and profiteering going on.

Same deal here.

It's complete insanity and I'm especially in disbelief of how brainwashed some of my family has become over this... of who I thought were rather intelligent. Sadly it's causing a gradual divide within my family that I don't ever seeing being resolved.

I'm holding out as long as I can, but whatever I do will 100% be for my household and nobody else. I'm playing the endgame now, because I don't see things changing for the better anytime soon.

Well, I did not intentionally mean to vent nor come off as "On the ledge"... I guess it just kind of came out that way. I am glad to see that I am not alone, but also angry to see that I am not alone as the whole source of this crap is unnecessary. It is one thing for me to deal with this but I hate to see others fighting the same demons.

This quote above is exactly what I get.... nightly.... so much so that I dread going to bed because I know it is coming.
I jolt awake, eyes staring at the bedroom door, which is cast in shadow from my phone charger light, because I know someone is coming into the room right now at this instant....coming for me. I have tried removing all light sources but not being able to see the door allows my brain to fabricate shit in my "half-dreaming state".
This is a very strange and intense moment until I can catch my breath and ground myself. This has to be anxiety-related because I have never had this before.

Anyways, enough shrink time lol. I still refuse to comply with this mandate crap. We will win. Stay strong, y'all. :beer:
 
When this whole thing came out with companies over 100 requiring vaccines, I was all spooled up. Now I'm over it. I can see that falling apart, but until something else comes along. Big one being cancelling health insurance to those that don't get the shot. I can see something like that happening.
 
Oneida County in upstate NY reinstated the public mask mandate. Three fucking jabs but you still need to mask. :shaking: Fraud of the century.

It's tough.

We may not be on a ledge, but we're on an uphill battle.

Removing a much to be at one helps, meditation/ trying to meditate can help. My wife but me a weighted blanket, it helps ease me and being a hot sleeper, does joy over heat me. Try it

Hey men, click on this link and give it a listen. Login • Instagram I apologize for the insta link, but its worth a listen. I sent this to the 3 men in my life that I lean on, that I hope would lean on me when they need it. I just watched it a couple more times and have tears in my eyes, one of "my men" my youngest son(21) liked it also.

We are not "alright". We are struggling, many of us with the same demon. I sleep with my m4, it goes with me everywhere. the comments above hit close. I may not be the guy you need to lean on when that time comes, but if there is not that guy in your life, reach out to me. If I need to get in my truck and drive to you, to sit down and cry with you, to have that beer with you and just talk, I will do my best to do that for you. I am easy to find.

When all this shit started there was a lot of "we're in this together" buillshit going around. That phrase just pissed me off then because how can downey jr claim to be in this with me? He cannot. But you guys are in this with me, we are in this together. I am still rabidly pissed off from the bs, but I am learning to be more mindful of my people. that is a good thing, a light in this darkness.

Enough sappy shit. get to work, while you still can. :laughing::flipoff2:

This has been the most eye opening revelation to me. I should have known better, but it was surprising to see how many people completely and utterly bought into everything being sold to them without question.

It was no surprise to me that many on here didn't buy in though. This is the one place you can always come to and get an honest answer or opinion.

I was surprised how many on here took the shot, or two. They'll be very low key on getting the next 87 boosters as they conceded the first time, what's there to fight now?
