With more than a week past the deadline, it\u2019s been revealed that a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/nike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nike<\/a> Marketing Manager has reportedly been fired<\/strong> for not complying with the company\u2019s vaccine mandate. The only problem is, the former Marketing Manager claims to be fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dex Briggs is the former Marketing Manager that worked at Nike\u2019s headquarters in Portland, Oregon. He was fired not for being unvaccinated, but for refusing to provide his COVID-19 vaccination status to a third-party verification company. Briggs spoke to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/business\/2022\/01\/frustrations-over-nikes-vaccine-policy-illuminate-challenges-in-implementing-mandates.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Oregonian<\/a> about the situation and claims that he is fully vaccinated, despite declining to verify his status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have my vaccination card. I\u2019m quite willing to show you that,\u201d Briggs told The Oregonian. \u201cBut I\u2019m not willing to give my personal information to this (outside) company, and any other company they want to share it with, without even telling me who they are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the report shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/business\/2022\/01\/frustrations-over-nikes-vaccine-policy-illuminate-challenges-in-implementing-mandates.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Oregonian<\/a>, Nike employees were required to submit their vaccination status to the third-party verification service. This order allows the outside company to access the employees\u2019 immunization info and confirm with Nike that their vaccine report is accurate. Briggs declined to share this information with the third-party company, which ultimately led to his termination. Nike did allow for some employees to be exempt from the vaccine mandate, just as long as they provided a religious or medical reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more sneaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">news<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/sneaker-release-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">releases<\/a> and updates, follow <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nicekicks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@NiceKicks<\/a> <\/strong>on Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this month, Nike notified some of their employees that the company planned to fire them on Saturday, January 15th,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":328355,"featured_media":959721,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,1224791],"tags":[],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nike Fired A Vaccinated Employee For Not Providing Status | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Former Marketing Manager, Dex Briggs, has been fired from Nike despite his vaccination status.
