The good faces of the crisis

16/04/2020

Dear diary,

Crisis often bring bad things, but we always can rescue something when we are having a bad time. That is why today, I am going to talk a little bit about those companies that deserve to be recognized. I said before that people have memory, and I am sure that we, as society will have a positive posture towards the actors that actually helped. First, lets talk about Google which gave access to the premium services that it offers, allowing many companies and people to work from home. Then, we have Microsoft, which gave free access to Microsoft Teams, a tool that I am hearing more in my environment than Netflix (I wouldn’t imagine that to happen during a quarantine) and that is great and easy to use. Now, let’s go to something more physical, like Rappi having a complete service and probably you are thinking “well that is what Rappi is normally doing” but then I saw many cases were people appreciate the job of Rappi workers in many ways, which literally have to go outside and get us stuff just making our life easier. Let’s have a look on those companies that understand that during crisis times you have to make sacrifices, like Arturo Calle that still pays to his workers allowing them to buy food and things necessary for living. Finally, the only way of helping is not just giving things or gifts, also to protect your customers through responsible strategies. I am talking about many supermarkets that respect governmental policies, that allow buying limited amount of things that everybody needs, and taking care of their employees. I personally feel happy by being at home, and I am very thankful because there are many people out there that would love to be in my place. For those out there, thank you, and for those that feel sad, I know it is a hard time, but it could be worst, and remember that somebody out there would love to have your position. Stay at home, and feel thankful with those that work for you and sometimes you don’t give them the proper recognition when a crisis is not happening.
