Thank you, I’m not sure that I’m doing it yet. I commented here just to find peoples experiences.

I will say though I find it strange when people mention that some people can’t work from home, so everyone shouldn’t. I didn’t go to school to be a nurse or a doctor. Our jobs aren’t all the same. There are many ways in which are jobs aren’t the same. Mine can be done from home. Some people are paid higher than me. Some people have to travel. We aren’t all working in the same conditions, and when unnecessarily working in person puts our community health at risk, I would expect most doctors want us to reduce our exposure and the strain on our health care system.

I also think in the context, where we’re discussing mental health issues, suggesting that people at other workplaces have to go in diminishes what being being mentally ill is. I would never have worked in a doctors office, but if I did during the pandemic I would have had a real medical mental breakdown. I would have quit. At my job, I am one of the top performers. I am definitely seen as one of our teams best employees, but I have mental health problems and going in person significantly increases my risk of becoming the worst employee. In the office, I feel very anxious, disengaged and unable to think. I am significantly less productive and going in affects me outside of work. I feel deeply concerned about exposing my loved ones to this, to the point that I have hives. I struggle to sleep the night before going in. If I do get covid and pass it on to my loved ones, which is evidently very possible because a person I work with just got covid in my office, I would be at risk of killing my self.
