One of the outcomes from COVID-19 pandemic is the expansion of “working from home”. As many companies and businesses were ordered restrictions for use of their office or working spaces, large numbers of employees were asked to work from home.

As many regions of Ontario shut off and shut down economic activity again on Monday December 14, 2020, a few questions came to mind. I could not find good answers and felt sad for the many owners of small and medium size businesses and their employees, forced to close the physical doors to their establishments. These included most retailers (unless classified as “essential”), hair salons, gyms, spas, restaurants, and many other B2C (business to consumer) operations, which depend on the holiday season for a major boost to their livelihood. These business owners have been hurting a great deal since March 2020. Many have closed down already, while countless large businesses have been thriving.

The 2020 US election received central coverage by all media channels: TV, radio, print, and social media. By now, the election of Biden (78) as the 46th US President has already been celebrated. The events of the past week will go down in history with the absolute record of voters and with a close +/- 50/50 division.

A recent article in a national newspaper (September 20, 2020) appeared with the heading “Cases may be spiking, but fewer people are dying”. Such positive information (buried on page 4) will likely go unnoticed by the public. Fewer people are reading newspapers – if at all – these days, or at least, not beyond the front page. At the same time, the media continues its zeroing-in on the growing number of new cases, the second wave of COVID-19, and any scrap of distressing news they can uncover.

One of the most challenging tasks in management is the ability to recruit the right candidates. How do you attract the caliber of people who are not only qualified, but are spot on in terms of good fit with the organisation’s culture, vision, mission, and values? Good chemistry between the boss, the team, and the new employee results in a strong contribution over many years—for both parties.

As governments around the world start to loosen their restrictions and attempt to restart their economies, they are drawing a “road map” to re-open businesses and schools that were closed during the last few weeks of the COVID–19 pandemic.

With all the doom-and-gloom talk about recession, depression, skyrocketing unemployment, not to mention mass contamination and the deaths of thousands of seniors, little is said about large corporations that are doing well during these difficult times. So, who are the winners and losers?

The Coronavirus pandemic has taken the world by surprise in a progressive manner, as governments realized little by little the growing real threat it represents. All the media, including social media, are firing on all cylinders with bad news every day. The result is that people are afraid, stressed and worried not only about now but what the future may hold.

I have been a loyal customer and fan of Volkswagen since I purchased my first Beetle in 1975. Throughout my first career that took me to Italy, Brazil and France, I drove mostly VW cars. Needless to say, I was very disappointed when I learned about the company’s diesel-emissions controversy in 2015.
