The New Old Normal | Career Angles

“You adapt or die. The dinosaurs didn’t and they aren’t around anymore.”

~Nick Saban

When the pandemic started, all of us had to be adjusted one way or another.

If you worked in an office, you learn to work from home. You learned how to work over Zoom or some other video conferencing service, do remote scheduling, check-in with your team to keep people connected, and much more.

If you worked in retail or a restaurant, you tried to figure out how to survive. Maybe you applied for a PPP loan to try to tide you over. Maybe, you dipped into your savings. Maybe you moved in with your parents to help you sustain yourself during these times.

We all bought masks. We wash our hands even more regularly. We shop online and when we go to stores, usually were more cautious than we were before.

We have been adapting to the changes that have been demanded whether we like it or not.

One day, we will be out of the pandemic. Enough of this will have been vaccinated to make this possible.

It may be hard to imagine but we will need to adapt again. What we have been doing will feel normal to us and returning to what was previously normal may feel difficult.
