Seagate will never require the vaccine as an employment requirement. If you are wondering why, it's because a company who requires employees to take a vaccine as a condition of work accepts 100% of financial responsibility if you are injured by it per OSHA regulation. So, don't feel pressured to take it if you don't want to despite the propaganda effort because you won't be required to by the company. Seagate legal department will figure this out soon enough. Also, don't feel pressured to disclose any medical information to the company or anyone who works there. Any action taken against you by Seagate for not disclosing your private medical information to the company will open up a significant legal liability for the company. Keep it private, keep it quiet.

This didn't age well
Seagate just announce vaccine mandate, no testing options by Dec 1 or your terminated.
We got a notice stating that if your are outside your social circle for more than 15 minutes and you didn't practice safe practices (mask/handwashing/social distancing) and were not vaccinated then you couldn't enter our facility.
Which means if you are required to come into the building you must be vaccinated since there is no mask mandates in the area I am in.
when will the back to office be enforced????
Vaccines are just another way for business excellence to track you at work. I refuse to get any shot.
"The Capitol Rioters had sincere intent too, that doesn't make spreading misinformation right. "
Ge-z, that is stupid to equate the OP's comment to the insurrectionists. Grow up already!
"Daddy chill"
The Capitol Rioters had sincere intent too, that doesn't make spreading misinformation right. I support Fauci by getting an ouchi,
"Dude, chill a bit, you seem totally strung. I think the OP had a sincere intent. I don't think the point is invalid just because it's a different county. There is a proper question about corporations doing their part to promote, and perhaps, mandating vaccines so everyone can come on site safely. To that poster who said there is a liability concern, that train has left the station. Might as well try to apply that argument to polio and measles vaccines."
Thank you. I overlooked about Santa Clara indeed and still "predict" that something similar might happen elsewhere. What is done in Santa Clara might be done in Alameda.

This is why the world is doomed, you can't read! Your article "https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2021/05/25/employers-face-june-1-deadline-to-record-worker-vaccination-status-in-santa-clara-county" says "By June 1, employers in the county will have to obtain a record of their workforce's COVID-19 vaccination status or face a $5,000 fine per day."
One little problem, Seagate is in Fremont, Alameda County, California, not Santa Clara!
I don't care if your right or left-wing, stop being poorly informed and spreading misinformation.
Frankly Seagate needs to demand vaccinations and end this full time office mask use policy. Those who decline can go work elsewhere.
we will need to answer in the next few days I expect ( yes/no/decline and be treated as no)

But one requirement has left many business owners concerned about privacy, enforcement and compliance: By June 1, employers in the county will have to obtain a record of their workforce's COVID-19 vaccination status or face a $5,000 fine per day.
The order also is not a requirement that businesses need to disclose the information to the broader workforce within the company, the public or the Public Health Department, he added. It only requires employers to keep track of the vaccination status of personnel. Complying with the order would include asking employees for their vaccination status. An employee who is fully vaccinated in this case means that they have reached the two-week mark since they received the second shot of the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine or the single shot of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Employers need to record the responses, whether that may be "I'm fully vaccinated" or "I decline to answer." The county has offered a sample vaccination status form businesses can utilize or use their own system.
It is not enough for employers to send a mass email to all workers, Williams emphasized. Employers must get a response
Sounds like anti-vaxx propaganda.
Seagate isn't forcing anyone to get the vaccine. This was decided along time ago. Nothing has changed.
