The lady said it did not come as a surprise as she had watched bosses across the US introduce vaccine mandates.

Then on the fateful day, it arrived in an email, and she decided to quit her job at Citigroup bank.

"We had many, many conversations about it. But ultimately we decided that our freedom was more important than a pay cheque,” she said.

Right to choose

Danielle, a former operational risk manager, asserted that she is not against vaccines.

“But this vaccine does not seem to be getting rid of this virus," the mother of four said, adding that she got COVID before the shots were widely available.

Her last day was on January 14. Danielle said lucky for her, she was in a financial position to give up her job, and she currently has no plans to find another job.
