When it comes to COVID, companies are not backing down.
Many companies have had to rethink their fall plans for returning to work after the spread of the highly contagious Delta virus.

Companies are not content with offering cash bonuses, water bottles, or T-shirts as incentives. They now require that all employees get a COVID shot. A host of companies including banks, tech companies, and airlines have made it clear to employees that they will not be allowed to travel to the office without a vaccination. In some cases, such as Ascension Health’s, they may even allow them to work remotely. Some companies have more forgiving terms than others, by offering employees the option to keep working from home, rather than the risk of termination. Requiring vaccines is a move that most workers support (52% according to a recent Gallup poll), but a sizable chunk of the workforce (29%) is strongly opposed–likely some of the same people who are strongly opposed to the COVID vaccines in general.
