I live in the Bay Area California, the law dropped all mask requirements in office settings including for unvaccinated. However, my work is only allowing the vaccinated to unmask and unvaccinated are supposed to wear one "at all times". I don't but every once in awhile I get sneers and my manager tells me to put it on, I do, but I don't put it over my nose. I'm starting to get really pissed off with this discrimination. I know it's discrimination, they forced me to watch a discrimination video ironically. Anything I can do? Can I sue the company (it's a million dollar company). I know Bay Area is fully woke over vaccines and masks, so I have no idea if I would win or not.

Suing is just going to make lawyers rich. A million dollars isn't very much money for a business.
The bay area isn't completely lost. 90% of people are just walking on eggshells to avoid getting yelled at. At least 50% of people are aware of the absurdity of it all at this point, and are keeping their mouth shut hoping it's almost over. Lately a lot of people are identifying as "libertarian," presumably because they're starting to realize that their team f'ed up.
If the upper management isn't completely unhinged, then they're probably just afraid of aggravating the loud minority of extreme COVID fanatics that have been yelling at them for the past two years. While you're silently stewing and approaching your boiling point, they've probably been yelled at numerous times by people that think the dirty antivaxxers should be put into concentration camps. They're probably just thinking, "oh great, if we put stickers on folks badges then 90% of employees can move on with life without me getting yelled at." You aren't even on their radar.
If you haven't ever had a direct conversation, go talk to the CEO or head of HR and tell them you are miserable and tired of feeling discriminated against, and that you're approaching your limit. Be polite and try not to yell. If they are receptive, then give them a few days to try and fix it. If you know other people with similar gripes, encourage them to reach out at the same time. If you suspect such people exist but you don't know them, email the head of the COVID policy with a sob story about how depressed and isolated you feel because of how dangerous COVID is and you're so bummed you can't vaccinate, and that you would appreciate them forwarding your contact info along to other "at risk" people so that you can support each other.
they make at least 60 million a year.
Sounds pretty lost to me. Kek.
Things are bad, but it's not as bad as people think it is. it's not time to give up.
