I think you have a strong case to stick it to your almost-new employer if you wanted to. Essentially, you were made a job offer, you accepted and notified them that if they require all employees to be vaccinated, you have a medical condition that requires accommodation. They are obligated to consider whether or not an accommodation can be made without causing an undue burden on the business. If they didn\u2019t do that, you would have a case to make for discrimination. If they are guilty of discrimination, your damages would be greater had you resigned your current role. Ask them why they are rescinding the offer and, based on their response, say that you need an accommodation. Then you can decide whether or not you want to pursue a claim<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/booster-shots-074-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"If a job did not obligate whether or not an accommodation can be made, one has a case to make for discrimination.\" class=\"wp-image-19581345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/booster-shots-074-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/booster-shots-074-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/booster-shots-074-1.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>An employer must consider whether an accommodation could be made or the employee may have a discrimination case.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>My son is taking all kinds of fluff classes like communication and sociology to get great grades.

Who you calling \u201cfluff\u201d? Employers don\u2019t look at transcripts. They look at the college and the degree and make a determination about how challenging the course work was, if they even care. Strength of college transcripts matters more for graduate school. I think you\u2019re just worried about what kind of job he can get so that you can get him off the family payroll and he doesn\u2019t take up residence in your basement, am I right? Help him focus on what he wants to do after college and have him work with his academic advisor to achieve that goal. And if his calling is to become a fluffy sociologist, that\u2019s his choice.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gregory Giangrande has over 25 years of experience as a chief human resources executive and is dedicated to helping New Yorkers get back to work.
