@Senior PT - 4 surgical masks per WEEK?! That is insanity. I imagine you are spending a good amount of time exposed to COVID patients given the nature of your work. Can you band together with others in your institution so that mask guidelines are uniform and actually make sense? I’m checking out that N95 Decon website above which has interesting info that can be shown to your hospital administrators

We were given 1 N95 and told that we will only receive that 1 mask. After 3 weeks I commanded a new mask.

Hi everyone. I’m new here but I think I’ll get a lot of really good feedback. I work in government procurement. I worked remote during the pandemic and now my manager cannot see his way to letting us work from home. Our department is the only one in the organization that is in the office all the time. It is really hurting morale and, personally, making me look for something different. What is everyone’s experience with old school management? Thank you!
