Hey all,
I’ve been having some situation-specific anxiety lately. In the state I live in, employees working with any industry in any capacity are required to enforce that members of the public wear masks and practice social distancing on business property. I thought I would have no problem asking people to do this, but have ended up finding myself anxious whenever it comes time to actually confront someone about this.
I’m not sure if this increased anxiety is coming from the potential danger of asking maskholes to mask up, or if its just coming from the idea of confrontation in general. Any thoughts on how to deal with this? Just ignoring the mandate isn’t an option– employers are required to terminate employees who don’t do this, and employers who fail to do that lose their operating licenses.
