The problem is that if there is no pushback, most places will continue to require masks. I think it is better to make them feel uncomfortable enough with the requirement that they eventually start bailing on “required” and go with “preferred”.
And yet I see employees at these companies that direct all to wear a mask don’t wear the mask properly. Just covering your mouth is not correct. It has to cover both nose and mask. Those who just wear it on the chin are worth special consideration.
