I know that, and once again you are missing the point. When, in the broader environment, the mandates came to a collective and sudden halt, the company completely abandoned its pursuit of any internal mandate (along with a huge number of other private employers). They immediately halted the adjudication of all pending waiver requests.

That action on the company's part gives some insight into thier actual, internal thinking. And applying that thinking to new hire vaccine waivers, it is my opinion they are likely amenable to a reasonable request for accommodation. IMO.

If any new hires have any personal experience with this, one way or the other, please share so others can benefit from actual ground truth.
