@fdfr+1eJ9ANIv - Congratulations "Karen"! You've managed to make a statement that is simultaneously condescending, ignorant, dehumanizing, politically-charged, and amazingly arrogant. Not to mention completely unrelated to the subject at hand, which is about Support being brought back to the US in the face of Corporate Mandated Vaccination. Collectivist behavior promulgated by authoritarianism is hardly the hallmark of "thinkers" and there is simply no scientific data anywhere that suggests getting a shot or not getting a shot correlates to IQ levels.

Being vaccinated is an IQ test. The thinkers are vaccinated and have been for almost a year.

I think the "on-going harassing emails" being referred to are the weekly emails that include such harassments as "Get vaccinated". Given that this position on vaccination is company policy, it's safe to say they have something to do with the business.

They may be horribly written corporate double-speak rah-rah BS emails, but I can't call them harassing.

For those of us no longer with the company could you post some of the statements you refer too?

The on-going harrassing emails coming from the CEO are getting worse. Please stop pushing your ideas and political agenda on the employees. We are all capable of making our own decisions. These weekly emails are unprofessional and have nothing to do with the business giving us statistics, etc is nothing but harrassment and fear mongering. This has gone too far

Short answer: NO

Longer answer: It'll never happen. Upper management has spent the last 10+ years laying off development, engineering, and support personnel with technical and experiential knowledge and offshoring those roles to our India brethren. Not to slight our India personnel, but quite frankly aside from some longer-term people over there the majority are capable of running down a check list, Googling answers, copy/pasting code and dithering until higher tier or more experienced people supply a solution. Leadership has no interest in retaining any experienced Support in the US because it's easier and cheaper to hire 10 people elsewhere, regardless of the fact that you actually need 20 of those resources to replace one good experienced resource in the US by the time it's all said and done.

If the positions are remote then why is there a requirement to be vaccinated?
