Reading through this thread makes me kinda speechless in many ways.
We live in a world full of technology. Soon we (hopefully) see a better year 2021…this year will bring definitely even more new technologies to our planet. Like every year does. But a company who is forcing someone to remove helpful technology from the body looks more like they are still living in the stone age to me…
Even if your case might not fall under any of the listed discrimination areas by now, things like that might become a clear point of discrimination in the upcoming future, because more and more people are using implants to unlock their stuff. The real problem behind all this, is that such companies might be starting to think that they can make decisions about OUR bodies as soon as they notice that we start to remove our implants as soon as they say so…
Okay, in my company I’m not allowed to have clearly visible tattoos or piercings, everything covered by clothes is okay, and small visible tattoos are allowed but should be covered by makeup during work. (In reality even most big names in the company have visible tattoos at least on their arms and they only cover them when the boss pays us a visit) Even if I don’t really like this point, I can understand it because as a security guard I must look very serious in some way…so a funny tattoo in the face maybe would be not the best idea then…
But since such chips are not really visible it’s truly only the point that your company don’t trust the whole technology behind your implants… Damn… Hard to tell what I would do in this case, but if you say
I understand that. BUT…
Maybe they were a good company once…that seems to be not the case anymore if they force you to cut out implants… If you do it for them, what will they request next time from you?!
Maybe interesting enough the company I work for is directly connected to the military… (I decided to don’t go more in detail here) but even our district manager and many others I know for many years now have implants to unlock their cars, some of them even unlock their security patrol cars with chip implants! So no problem here, even if we are the companies security team with such implants.
I didn’t know this before, because I switched to this job in January this year, but my Site manager, that I know from my previous job in the same company, unlocked his patrol car one day directly in front of me with his hand. I asked him and he told me about his chips. He told me also about all others in the company who are using the same implants. (Found out that he has a xNT, Spark 2 and a NExT! )
Funny enough, he explained to me that they are using these chips because they are much more secure than any other key… And you company see them as a security risk…strange world that we are living in…
Oh and BTW: Thanks to @Mariarangok for the link to the church of body modification. Truly interesting, and definitely what I was looking for quite a while… 
Hope that Amal tries to continue the launch of the church of transhumanism… (The best time for it is exactly now!) Since this forum is such a great crowdfunding community and especially because this case here is a clear sign that people like us are already getting discriminated for what we use to make our daily lives a lot better and easier… Not sure if a church would really help in things like this, but maybe it would help to get some more attention for our problems. At least it would fit for religious discrimination. In the near future we might need new laws to protect our personal rights from companies like that one you are working for… Things like that could happen to everyone here in the forum, so we should really work together to get our personal rights protected by something more official…
