This year “2020” has been very difficult for a lot of people to adjust to as each month there’s a new problem the world faces . Back in March we were faced with COVID-19 having the whole world shut down . Many companies weren’t prepared for the financial risk they were going to be faced with during this time . Being that a pandemic hasn’t happened since 1918 everyone had to come up with new policies and procedures. Such as stores and restaurants where the procedures taken place where mandatory face masks and temperature readings. Having these policies in place helps protect everyone from this deadly virus going around . Most companies have allowed for staff to work from home , or offer employees to rotate their schedule. Although this threat affected a lot of people being given the decision to physically come into work or work from home has helped a lot. In my case my organization relocated to a different site for staff to work from and I decided to stay home with no pay. Due to the chances of me catching the virus when cases were extremely high.
Hello heaven I agree with your statement on how enforcing new policies and procedures can help the companies to stay afloat. But with the pandemic ongoing it isn’t good enough to make profit.
Hello Heaven,
I wasn’t even aware it has been over 100 years since our last pandemic. It almost seems crazy that although we can’t be fully prepared for a pandemic procedures other than masks or face coverings were not in place. Its unfortunate that some workers like yourself had to stay home and not get paid
Working from home is probably the best route or like you stated, ” staying home with now pay..” because of the safety precautions. Face masks and plexiglass can do but so much! Enforcing these rules, at least makes your employers feel safe.
