Don't plan on applying for my job with my employer. My production coworkers have been wearing masks for about 8 weeks now. Among approximaely 380 production workers -- one plant in upstate NY, one plant in central Iowa -- only 1 production employee has tested positive for COVID-19 as of 5/27/2020.
My office coworkers (myself included) will return to work in the office 2 days a week starting June 3. Each employee will work in the office 2 days a week and works from home 3 days a week. Only about 1/3 of the employees will be in the office on any workday. Each employee is assigned which days they will be in the office. No deviation is allowed from the assigned work in the office vs. work from home schedule.
Each office employee will wear a mask when they are away from their desk, upon entering the office and upon exiting the office. If an employee is working at their desk, the mask does not have to be worn.
Disposable masks are provided by my employer, or employees may wear a cloth mask brought from home.
If an employee does not want to adhere to my employer's mask policy while working in the office or in the plant, they are free to quit and join the ranks of the 36 million+ unemployed in the U.S.
I am glad my employer has this policy. And I wear a mask while shopping or anywhere I cannot maintain social distancing. But then again, I am just a stupid sheep.
