how did the pandemic affect you?

[Peterluckz]

During the pandemic alot of people lost their jobs, life and prosperities, i actually lost one of my siblings. I know we all lost one thing or the other, i just want us to share, i believe sharing help hiss the tension and problems we have

O 

My Area small business almost destroyed

But people are more kind 🙂

I learnt many informative things in this pandemic

Surely I was affected negatively by the corona virus because I am an online worker who doesnt interact with people, but still the work was very little and I could not earn the way I used to earn. Some of the clients were affected and they could not communicate with us. Corona virus is a deadly disease.

In positive way

I personally stay at home much more, and I have been using some online services for shopping which is in fact really cool and handy. I like the online pharmacy from eDrugStore.com a lot, for example, and I recommend that you check it out too, you will surely find it interesting, good luck! 🙂

Yeah, because of COVID-19 pandamic, people are affected. It is increasingly spreading in every area. For decreasing the chance of spreading it, people have become advance and using COVID-19 Protection Products which are good to use and will prevent you from having Corona.

I started working remotely, however, I do not consider this to be something negative. I like it even better.

I'm working remotely for over years and that there are some great benefits of it (less time spent on commuting to work, flexibe working hours, less money spent on transport, food at the office, etc) however there are some drawbacks as well. The most important ones for me are the lack of interaction with my collegues, and the tendency to stay more on the computer without having breaks.

I agree here, I miss my colleagues sometimes. But I have a way out of this situation - I can still come to the company's office and spend time with them if I want. So I do it once every couple of weeks. I understand that I'm lucky here.

Yeah mixing working from home with some in-office meetings may be good for everyone.

I can't say that my earnings have fallen dramatically, rather the opposite. I started spending more time at home, learned new things, and even hired employees. But the remote work did not affect them in the best way, they became more absent-minded. But I plan to install a program to monitor the working time Kickidler and solve this problem

You have produced a fascinating and informative article.

Did you installed the program? Does it work well for you and your employees? From my experience is better t set up objectives that can be easily tracked if achieved or not rather than inducing stress with a computer monitoring program.

Let us know

Now that things have mostly settled down, I can say that it turned out well for me. Had to make a big decision quite early into the pandemic, and went fully online with my business. Getting more and more into eCommerce was a way to go, there is an opportunity of expanding internationally, and I believe that's my next step. It seems I can finally sigh with relief and say it out loud without being afraid I could jinx it. The numbers are looking good, but of course, now we have new things to worry about. Let's see what 2023 will bring.

@whatsthatsupposedtomean how does eCommerce goes for you now? I read in the news that after Black Friday ecommerce businesses started to see slow downs in income and number of orders.

A small decline, but nothing more than expected, honestly. There usually is a quiet period after Black Friday, but then the holiday season starts and things get better.

During the pandemic I had problems with my pension, I was miscalculated, I went to my former employer, I tried to solve everything peacefully, but no, in the end I turned to professionals https://zashita.co.il/ , they helped me protect my pension, and also paid moral compensation, so you can try

I lost a close friend because of  the Pandemic and I was quite unhappy for months because I liked going out a lot. However, in terms of finances, the pandemic taught me a lot of things. I took investing more seriously  than never before.
