Is employee stock and personal stock of the same company both subject to the wash sale rule?

I bought normal shares of my company’s stock some time ago. I am also part of its ESPP, receiving discounted shares every 2 weeks. The shares are held in separate accounts. Does this mean I’m essentially locked out of ever using the wash rule if I choose to sell my personal shares?
