My professional experience is most normal employers aren't tracking this stuff...it's still on the honor system. However, I've heard that in a few cases where they are asking, they will accommodate these "religious exemptions" but require the employee to mask-up.

Good companies will NOT start a fight with employees: the labor market is tight, good workers are hard to find, and nobody wants a PR donnybrook nowadays. Jackwagon private sector non-healthcare or educational employers mandating that employees vaxx up without exception are still in the minority

Now, yes, of course....the mask is nonsense. And my body, my choice. But many employers are in States or industries (like aviation...) where there ARE mandates and it's not "guidance." So it's often not the case, that senior management are all Fauci Fans. But they have a business to run, they have to make customers and employees happy, and have been handed a lousy hand.

If a reasonable employer asked me to "play ball," and I've been treated swimmingly, I'll play ball. After all, HR reps talk, and if I burn bridges calling senior management names on my way out the door, I'll either have to work for myself or live in a van down by the river. Reputation is hard-fought, but easy to lose.

Get a black mask, one of those sold in boxes as disposable.

Notice that there are several layers to the mask. Peel off the inside 2 layers (the side that will go against your face) right around the area of your nose and mouth, leaving only the thin outside layer of gauze. You might need scissors to cut out the area.

From the outside, you can barely, barely see that the inside layer is gone.

This will not work with the lighter blue or white masks - you can clearly see the inside is missing.

This will allow you to actually breath and you have met the mask-up requirements.
