Life In Quarantine

How will I remember the year 2020? We're not even halfway yet but there's so much that has been going on. Despite all of it, let's still remember our small victories just to take our minds off the dilemma that we are all facing.

When we started the community lockdown, actually 2 days before the announcement our company has already decided to do a skeletal workforce system. For us, what's supposed to happen is that we are provided a new schedule for the days where we are expected to be in the office but since then the Covid-19 cases in the Philippines worsen so the CEO has decided that it is safer for everyone to just do remote work. 😊 I was so grateful since I am always at risk due to my commute. Imagine riding a full packed bus to work, how do I protect myself from that? 😐 During that time when they have finalized the decision, I still have a lot of tasks to do so I still carried on with my usual work routine. However, in just a span of 2 weeks, the situation seems to have taken a toll in the global economy so were advised to hold everything off and just make sure to keep the people that we have within the company. Another thing that I have faced during this entire quarantine situation is some employees are not confident that their colleagues are actually working from home since they can't monitor each other. In my opinion, this is not the right time for office politics, this is the time where we should be working together. 🙅
