OT: Just fired one of my secretaries for not getting her son a flu shot...

Blatant insubordination.

I specifically ordered all employees and their families to get a flu shot. No exceptions. This morning, I overheard her telling another of my subordinates that her son had the flu. I immediately ordered her and our HR administrator into my office and told her to pack her things. Fridays are usually the best days to fire people, but she didn't want to go easy. She tried to give me some BS about an egg allergy and "developmental delays" blah blah blah, but I wasn't really listening. We are at an EPIDEMIC now because of morons like her and others who refuse to get this life-saving vaccine.
I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I fire mine yesterday too!

Be a doll and explain then.
You say that because you know a person or people that got the shot and got the flu, that it doesn't do what it is meant to do. The reality is, it is not 100% effective but does prevent the flu in a percentage of people so you are wrong. I feel this is too obvious so I must be being trolled. If so, damnit.

No I was being serious.

From what I understand it is meant to prevent a certain strain of the flu and as I'm sure you know there are multiple strains out there. The flu shot may help in some cases but in many others it doesn't. That's all I was saying.

Right, so the blanket statement that it doesn't prevent the flu is not accurate was my point. Seems like we agree but I disagreed with the way you stated it.

Please tell me you are making this up
 
OP may or may not be a troll but there are some places where a flu shot is required to be employed. Here in the upstate a few years back hospital's required their employees to get it.

That showed a lot of maturity on your part. It was also very mature to post it on a board that you upset someone’s livelihood today because YOU think this is a good idea. Unbelievable if this is true. I hope I never have to work in that environment. Your development and caring of your employees is nonexistent.
Let me guess...you're drawing a check because you're "disabled"

you are a complete ass and an idiot.If she sues you,you are in deep trouble
 
Good for you! We have mandatory birth control and all stand for the National anthem every morning as well.
 
I am an attorney. I would love to take this case. What is this “insubordinate” woman’s name and cell number?
Lol!! I know right! This case = Money already in the bank!
Oh also all my immediate co-workers who got the flu shot this year (7/10) got the flu (100%) smh. I have never gotten a flu shot. I have had the flu twice in my life, last time being like 2002 or something. I digress, I want in on that lawsuit!
