If last week felt like a welcome adjustment to a slower pace, this Monday morning felt a bit like a bang over the head. This pandemic will impact the business for both of our companies (obviously, our companies are a bit more immune than other industries), but like our 401Ks, no company is unaffected. Personally, I've been pondering what kind of impact I want to have to the workforce for some time, now, and I like the mission of my company and I've been learning new skills and exploring various parts of the business, so I've been generally content. BUT, I'm uneasy that the pandemic may force a change to come outside of my own timeline and at a time when the workforce is stretched by high unemployment. While I'm confident we are both savvy and able to adapt, of course self-preservation is a key element of my thought process. Like many feelings, it will ebb and flow over the coming weeks.
There was word today that NC will not open schools for another month, so incrementally, we are still in the early stages of our adjustments. There is so much to consider and ponder and I hope to be able to model healthy response/reactions to all of this, as our girls are quite impressionable and very much aware of the coronavirus and the closeness to our community.
