Could khodite here be the regular motion of just coming to work every day? Also, how about inserting a word or two after chuvstvuyu to convey meaning rather than sticking to the original syntax, thus:
"You only work here, you show up every day, but I feel what I do."
Just a thought to convey the speaker's main concern of contrasting the rote performance of his co-workers with his greater emotional participation.

Dear Robert,
I think that the your rendering of the above line is not entirely
correct and looses the rhythmical pattern of the phrase.
I would have put it as follows:
"I'll see how it goes", Fedorov said gloomily. "You just work here,
walk around, but I live through my sensitivities".
All very best,
Sasha Smith
