Author: Christian Bielski COVID-19 has disrupted standard business practices in countless ways. For those fortunate enough and able to work remotely, adjusting brings its own challenges. From coordinating schedules with loved ones to arranging child care, pet care and the ever-important self-care, “business as usual” has radically changed.

People are losing their jobs, working from home, business is down….

It’s easy to get cowed into feeling that only an idiot would attempt to multiply a list price by a factor less than one.
