Today, we can see and better understand the many layers of challenges the pandemic introduced to us. The COVID-19 virus spread worldwide without acknowledging borders. It impacted all industries, all sectors, and all aspects of our lives with devastating economic and financial losses.
Due to the close quarters of our workplace, we found ourselves helping to calm and reassure nervous travellers while fearing for our own health, and the health of our loved ones. As the pandemic dragged on, we were then faced with the additional stress of losing working hours and financial stability.
Last week, information was shared regarding the grievance outcome of the cost-of-living adjustment. It was not well received.
