I hate that phrase "New Normal". There is nothing normal about any of this. Acting like this is going to last forever.
It's very abnormal. And temporary. I cringe whenever some says "Well, that's the new normal." No, it's not. Stop it.
Only folks with a yard and their own pool call this “normal”. Ask any furloughed FO forced out of their homes back into mon and dad’s spare bedroom sleeping on the sofabed. In lockdown. Call this normal? That’s the most selfish thing to say. Dear CEO’s...
the new normal is nothing more than what the current CEO sees and reacts to and plans for and monitors as we all on planet earth experience a topsy tervy set of circumstances, the end of which is uncertain, and the survival of many business is also uncertain. He gets paid to be perceptive and to preserve Delta Airlines with as much vigor as he can muster.
