Landing work in a top organization and gaining the opportunity to learn from the industry’s best can make any newbie’s dreams come true. Getting into any of the networks is highly competitive and certain expectations are raised in applying to the public affairs department. However, one starts at the bottom of the ladder to gain familiarity and eventually move up based on experience and quality of work. Moreover, along the way, many kinds of bosses will be encountered and they could make or break an employee’s spirit.

Before any program is aired on television, much planning is involved and the heads are meticulous as their names are at stake. Besides, ratings need to be convincing as well. The rigidness and usually irate disposition of Department Leader (DL) has caused pressure and panic among the staff. Rumors have it that DL does not hesitate to throw things if a staff’s performance is not satisfactory. Thus, the staff would rather stay away from DL as much as possible. Little did they know that they benefitted from that attitude at the time of the pandemic.

Somewhere along the way, DL became infected with covid-19. DL wanted to keep the situation a secret to protect the privacy. After all, celebrities can take much attention once the public finds out they are ill. Although DL want to hush up the predicament, the management had to be informed for the sake of the staff and other co-workers with whom DL might have come in close contact.

The management immediately took action and had the staff and other employees tested. The results of DL’s staff were all negative. They could only smile and joke about the fact that the irate attitude of DL actually made social distancing popular in their area even before it became protocol. Given that DL can be easily irked, the staff minded their own work and indeed, avoiding DL proved beneficial. Meanwhile, DL has gone home and is healing from the infection.
