Hii just found out about this group so I thought I'd share my situation and hopefully hear some feedback.
First of all I've been working for a social cooperative for 4 years as a tree climber.
When I started they made a big deal about me being seriously committed as training me would be a huge investment for them. It was actually a good environment and kind of fun.
Last October in Italy covid regulations forced people to get vaxxed and get a green pass to work. I don't want to get into this argument but since I don't find it a right thing I refused and, while I still kept my job on paper, I was forced to stay home without getting paid.
Since May I should be able to work again, I got called it to talk about it and I basically got yelled at and insulted for an hour because I never called “even to say merry Christmas” and that without me they had a nightmare organising the teams, that my colleagues hate me because my workload fell on their shoulders and that I only think of myself while they had to keep the cooperative going for everyone.
That they'll make me pay back all my slacking this summer and that I should sign them a paper where I get demoted and cut my pay.
Then I texted them the next day that I won't be coming in in May and he said “so does that mean you hand in your di missions” I answered “either that or you'll fire me”. And he said “we've been very clear we are not going to fire anyone the choice is all yours”.
Honestly I will really miss my colleagues and I loved my job and somehow I feel a bit guilty as I know how much work they put in to get a salary for everyone and I sure didn't make it easy for them.
But I don't feel like I deserved all that hatred especially since I spent 6 months of hell without earning a dime and somehow I should be the one worrying about them
So now I'm trying to call just to say I quit but I can't get myself to do start the call.
Also my colleagues which I had good relationship are writing me to ask if we'll finally see each other again on monday
