I report to the Mayor and work primarily with Department Directors. When I went through the interview process I was transparent about my transplant as I wanted to explain why ai left my previous municipal employment. So, typically those I work directly with wear masks. The mask mandate has gone away for City employees in the office, although the public is supposed to wear them. There’s a high rate of vaccination, but there’s been an outbreak amongst public works employees.
My office mates know I’m immunosuppressed, but like you I still have to take my mask off to drink and eat. They do not wear masks. I mostly worry about breakthrough infections, as they are vaccinated.
I’m glad you can work remotely some. But, I’m very sorry you can’t be more transparent in your workplace. It’s sad that people are often judgmental of others. Be safe @alive!
