FFF151-Raytheon SUED After Employees Fired Over Vax Mike Heiser Lisa Leake Own Your Freedom - Feds For Freedom

In this episode of Own Your Freedom, host Stephanie Weidle sits down with former Raytheon employees Mike Heiser and Lisa Leak to expose how a post‑merger culture overhaul and aggressive COVID‑19 vaccine mandates reshaped a once‑mission‑driven defense contractor. Mike recounts his 2008 start at Raytheon, describing a shift from warfighter solutions to profit‑first metrics after the Raytheon‑United Technologies merger, and how DEI‑driven hiring sidelined qualified veterans. Lisa paints a parallel picture from the IT side, noting rapid turnover, inexperienced managers, and a knowledge drain that left critical programs understaffed.The conversation turns to the pandemic’s impact: mandatory vaccinations, weekly testing, and a hostile environment amplified by constant compliance screens. Both guests detail their attempts to secure religious exemptions, the opaque appeal process, and the frustrating EEOC/EEA complaints that led to rubber‑stamp responses. They also reveal a startling $6,000 per‑vaccinated‑employee bonus allegedly baked into government contracts, suggesting profit motives behind the mandates.Mike and Lisa share the personal toll of being fired or forced out, the difficulty of clearing security clearances after departure, and the broader implications for younger workers pushed into leadership roles without proper training. The episode closes with practical advice: demand written guarantees of autonomy in any contract job, refuse to comply with unlawful medical requirements, and support legal actions that hold contractors accountable. Listeners leave with a clear call to own their freedom in the workplace and push back against corporate overreach.
