I understand why many businesses want to open. However, I do not believe it is the corporate socially responsible thing to do. This virus has killed millions and we need to continue taking precautions to survive. #MAVORG

I recently ordered a new pair of headphones from Walmart.com. Not even a few days later, I decided that I wanted to cancel this purchase. I received an email later from them stating that the item was on its way. I was dissatisfed with the service. #MAVORG

@JustinKrug8 @egurneyuno I think it is unfortunate that management is allowing employees to decide that for themselves. Essential workers should be using proper preventative equipment. Susceptible customers may be shopping and exposed which seems like a management issue. #MAVORG

@egurneyuno Beth, that is an interesting point. I think it boils down to differences in management. My brother works at HyVee (which is employee owned), and he mentioned that it is at the employee’s discretion. #MAVORG

This FedEx worker may struggle getting up and going to work based on the current circumstances. It is nice to see these workers and the impact they have. I am sure the couple deemed this delivery as essential. #MAVORG

I find it very interesting how some businesses are operating as usual. In my opinion, fast food restaurants should not be opened. These workers are deemed essential simply based on avoiding a failing business. Is a businesses life more important than a humans? #MAVORG

@NekolaJulia Julia, it has been very hard to get myself motivated to work while at home as there are many distractions. It would be interesting to see a comparison among organizations and their productivity levels both before and after quarantine. #MAVORG

I have a couple friends who work at Target. Target has increased their wages by $2 due to the hazardous working conditions. I think it is important that companies treat their employees like Target is! #MAVORG

I am aware of instances in Omaha where Catholic masses are taking place. It is irresponsible, immature, and selfish of those attending the services. Religion is important, but it can be done remotely. Social distancing will save lives. #MAVORG

@egurneyuno I agree! Seeing how all of this unravels will be very interesting. I think it is great that news stations and social media are encouraging people to continue to support small businesses during this time to combat a long recovery once it is all over. #MAVORG

I recently received a text from my cellphone company stating that they were giving me an extra 10 GB of data for free. This was in hopes to alleviate any stress during these uncertain times. Organizations need to remember the impact customers have on their success. #MAVORG

It can be very difficult to keep mission essential personnel safe. The Department of Defense is increasing telework capabilities to keep their people safe while staying fully functional which is similar to a lot of private sector organizations. #MAVORG

@kaylajohnkuno It is definitely a smart business decision to target people based on their current situation. Customers are vulnerable during these desperate times and respect a company that recognizes their struggles. I am intrigued by companies extending due dates for bills. #MAVORG

I will be interested to see how this plays out. In America, we are struggling to provide patient's and healthcare workers with adequate equipment and facilitates to take care of the numerous sick people. I would assume Portugal's hospitals will be maxed out very quickly. #MAVORG

Many restaurants are still operating and conducting service as normal via curbside pickup due to COVID-19. Recently, my family and I placed an order at Dinker's. The service was fast, delicious, and cleanly! It is important we support businesses during this time. #MAVORG

@AngelaLopera10 It is very nice that companies are (or rather were) able to operate while taking extra precautions. It is obvious that customers are still eager to participate in these services while employees provide the service. Unfortunately, nail salons are closed for the time being. #MAVORG

During this severe pandemic, it is disheartening to hear that hackers are taking advantage of vulnerable people. The CDC is working very hard to ensure measures are being taken for the safety of the people. #MAVORG

Planet fitness has signs up all around the gym encouraging cleanliness by wiping down workout machines before and after use. This will decrease the chances of spreading any illness and controlling the virus. I think other companies should promote this in their businesses. #MAVORG

@JustinKrug8 Unfortunately, no my work has not hopped on this bandwagon yet. However, they are making accommodations for individuals who were exposed and advised to self-quarantine. These individuals have been granted paid time off for the time spent in quarantine. #MAVORG

It is clear that the coronavirus is nothing to joke about. Thankfully, my boss took the initiative to prioritize my health (and my coworkers) by allowing us to work from home. Has anyone else had a similar experience at work? #MAVORG

I recently purchased a sweater from Scheels. Once I got home, I realized that there was quite a few snags and I already had removed tags. The Scheels employee ensured me that this was okay and they wanted to make it right! This is great customer service! #MAVORG

I am curious to see how the hotel will be treated based on their actions in this scenario. I would assume family members of those quarantined are extremely upset with holding people in an unsafe environment. Was this ethical of the hotel? I am not too sure. #MAVORG
