They sent this email out to employees today. It's not a great move, considering most stores can't get or keep help right now. Don't be surprised if you go into a Home Depot next month and it's a ghost town as far as getting help.
"Dear Associate,
OSHA is requiring associates of large employers to be fully vaccinated* and provide required proof OR test for COVID-19 every 7 days. As a large employer, The Home Depot is required to comply with this governmental regulation.
To prepare, we need to know your vaccine status by Jan. 4, 2022.
Take action now by following the instructions below:
Fully Vaccinated If you have been fully vaccinated*, log on at livetheorangelife.com and select Update Your Information on the COVID-19 Vaccination or Testing Requirement section, then Update Vaccine Information under COVID-19 Resources. Add your vaccine details AND upload a photo/copy of your vaccine card/documentation. If you have trouble uploading, you can fax it in by following the instructions at livetheorangelife.com/vaccinefax.
If you do not provide a photo/copy of your COVID-19 vaccine card/documentation, you will NOT be considered fully vaccinated and will need to test every 7 days.
Not Vaccinated If you have not been vaccinated, it is not too late. Visit livetheorangelife.com/covid19vaccine for details or text your zip code to GETVAX (438829) to find a location near you. If you are not going to get vaccinated, update your vaccine status to "Not Vaccinated”. This will help us plan for testing and will remove you from future vaccine status follow-ups. Log on at livetheorangelife.com and select Update Your Information on the COVID-19 Vaccination or Testing Requirement section, then Update Vaccine Information under COVID-19 Resources to update your status."
I think weekly testing in lieu of a vaccine is a pretty fair compromise all things considered, no?
K.
You only have to convince billions and billions of people that you're right and everyone else is wrong. It sounds daunting but I believe in you! Now get out there and get to work!
Every person has to live with THEIR choices, even if it kills them.
If a vaccine were to kill you, there would be some fault of the people in the chain of command and in the manufacturing and development sector, but, in the end, your choices are your responsibility. What you don't know can hurt you!
Those tests are really expensive.
Testing asymptomatic people, to "prove" they're healthy, is just dumb.
are you considering the fact that PCR isn’t a fucking diagnostics tool in any way shape or form?
That's accepting their bullshit premise.
When both vaxxed and pureblood are equally likely to transmit the virus, any sanction on purebloods is unethical.
Yes, you should receive a weekly urethra q-tip testing to ensure you are not a public threat.
One of those q-tips from the automotive store.
