I think it is indefensible to bring people back to work in any workplace where mask wearing is needed at your desk. If you're admitting in that way that there is a risk in being in the office then you shouldn't be requiring them to be there!

Wow no indeed. I would be looking for a new job. Masks are a measure for times when no other option is available, not a standard check mark for every employee. From which management level upward do these rules not apply? It probably coincides with having your own private office…

My company has been mandating 3 days/week at the office, with mandatory masks also. You're right, managers above a certain level have their private office and don't need to wear a mask all day.

> wow no indeed

Ween yourself off the "yeah, no" pattern.

I'm not using that pattern here am I? I don't use it anywhere — I find it ill-suited for written communication. Those three words serve only to convey my agreement with rkangel and utter surprise at this being mandated for a desk job.

It sounds like GP is wearing a mask voluntarily.

With the obvious exception of essential jobs that cannot be done remotely, such as hands-on medical care.
