One hopes as now somewhat aged lawyers we generally have the ability to set our own way. We certainly do compared to 95% of the country.

When the announcement came around from the firm that our mask policy was rescinded, it included a statement that everyone should still be sensitive to people who continued to mask and that many would be doing so because they were immunocompromised. I sent around a "reply to all" email immediately noting that I would appreciate everyone coming into my office to be masked and noting my position, and I got a lot of thank yous from staff in the office who felt pressure to demask.

If we can't stand up and do our own thing at this point in our careers, what the fuck have we been doing?

We are working (in person, often) with people with terminal cancer that we are saying was caused because companies didn't do enough to warn these people to take precautions like wear masks. Yet no one will wear a mask. Am I missing something?

I'm shocked the patients don't say something.

I mean, I'd ask nicely but if my wife came in the room with me she'd get me out of the room and then stick around long enough to carefully shred the biggest egos in the room to pieces and leave them bleeding on the floor.

The patients are the ones who are here because they never wore a mask in the first place. I actually have had some ask me to take mine off. Which is never going to happen.

You guys go to your clients though right, they don't come to the office? You have lawyers who refuse to wear a mask when visiting/working with a client?

I don't know and don't want to know. Me personally, I wear a KN95. But I do that 100% of the times indoors anyway.
