Noone wants to work 24h shifts in an ffp2 if you don't really have to and also every colleague had like every possible infection during autumn already.
Yup. I'd rather get COVID than wear a mask all day every day. I will wear a mask if I know I'm sick, of hospitals are getting overwhelmed, or if I know I'll be around vulnerable people, but that's it. I took every precaution from 2020 on, and got sick anyway. It's going to happen, so I'd prefer to at least be comfortable than just delay the inevitable.
I got COVID two months ago and it sucked, and I'd rather repeat that than live my life with a mask.
You're supposed to wear the mask so that you don't expel covid (or anything else) onto other people. It's not for your protection.
It does also protect masked uninfected people from unmasked infected people. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7883189/ , especially section 4.
