Ain't no sunshine when she's gone...ain't no borderline psychotic emotional outbursts either. Some days you just have to create your own sunshine. |

The blind compliance of two thirds of the world with a "symbol" of oppression, and their complete willingness and unquestioning acceptance of the "authority" with the loudest voice, without ANY self-verification. I look forward to the day when I get challenged. The day the weak two thirds of the world encounter the unfaltering pillar of self-autonomy. The confrontation feels close. |

''blind compliance'' thats rich.. i don,t want to wear one but i have to. because i need a job to pay bills if not i will be starving,homeless,and freezing to death just because i wanted to go by what someone on the internet says..(who obviously doesn,t have to deal with this situation because otherwise he would be quiet about it). you are a moran if you look forward for that day to come to be challenged.. and you obviously don,t know what the hell you are talking about.. |

I could be wrong on that. Do most people at your work wear them? Are they required but you just have a medical reason not to?

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78123652 United States 10/19/2020 07:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am supposed to wear one all the time because we are in an air conditioned building, but I don't. At first a lot of people tried to wear them even when at their desks, most don't do that anymore. There are a handful of people at work at 6, none of us wear it until 7 when others start to come in to work. 6 to 7 is the best, followed by after 4, which is when most people leave, but sometimes I have to work late. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79176474 United States 10/19/2020 07:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | no. i requested a religious accommodation, and after several attempts to use coercion, veiled threats of being fired, and so on, I had a meeting with manager, supervisor, and HR, presented them with a letter, my Holy Bible, made my case (importantly, that the masks are not defined as PPE by relevant regulating agencies like OSHA or the CDC, and therefore fall under a dress code) and am not required to wear a mask or faceshield as a condition of my employment. The HR manager was actually extremely cordial and respectful - I enjoy those encounters with people, because it helps me bring what is best to the surface to be polite and professional with others. |

Ha ha I'll have to look. I've tried several and I don't like being in any of them all day. I've tried the blue ones, black "breathable" ones from Amazon, and then a homemade one from Etsy that I bought at the beginning of this whole thing when I couldn't find them anywhere else. They're all easy to breathe through until you have to talk in them all day. I was also given a shield...which I've never worn.
