I work in financial services in a dutch city. I also have colleagues from all over the world, travelling with work or private reasons to every country... business trip to germany, skiing in Italy.. you name it.

I moved from a company that specialised in technology control systems, there was a division that focused on infrastructure protection. Some of those guys referred to the UK as a life support society.. just let that sink in a little. We all live in a house of cards.

When I first started my job, I found the attitude and egos of the people I work with to be abraisive, patronising, and bullish... to the point of bullying. I like to use my words and although my colleagues speak English, they dont understand English.

If I try and describe any knowledge or experience from my old job, I'm simply dismised, laughed at, belittled and people move on.

My main concern is the lack of consideration my colleagues have for other people. If it doesn't kill them, then they dont give a shit about anyone else. It's all about them and money... that's all that matters to these people.

Although it can be done, my employers are not offering and opportunity to work from home. So every day, I have to catch a train 1hr each way through two train station twice a day... to a city packed full of less desirable tourists that spit, smoke, shitty hygiene, to an office full of people that'll come off a flight from Japan and without consideration come straight to work.

I'm slowly resenting the whole situation, where simply using hand sanitizer results in general mocking.

I also think the ones that deny or mock my personal views and opinions on Covid19 are scared. Scared and I'll prepared.

I also find this coronavirus a huge distraction/ reality check.

Sadly working together starts with looking after yourself and your family.

Just assume nobody's going to be able to help you for a month or so.
