Default Mask wearing for those who still work

Giving a little dose of what is happening in the world of people who are not yet retired -- employees at all offices in my company are now required to wear a mask when away from their desks. At my employer's production facilities, employees must wear a mask at all times, plus have their temperatures checked before their shift.

When I return to working in my office 2 days a week starting next week, I wonder what would happen if I marched into the VP of HR's office and said, "Masks are virtually useless. I ain't wearing a mask." I wonder how fast I would be terminated? Considering the unemployment rate is greater than 13%, I think I will stick with wearing a mask in my office.

The mask policy does not only apply at my company. A few of my friends must also wear a mask when they are working in their offices.
