Plica resection w/a meniscus trim about 4 wks ago. minimal swelling,stiffness after long standing(my job) & no pain. should i wear a sleeve at work?

Knee swelling.: Per my experience, it does not hurt to have extra support and protection. Wearing a knee brace especially for your job until swelling and stiffness go away completely is not a bad idea.

You can: A sleeve or compression dressing can help by reducing swelling and providing support. At some point, though, you can stop wearing anything on your knee when you are doing particularly well.
