Perfect storm for the company I was working for. Had their worst fourth quarter in company history. Purchased another company in January as part of a pivot to a more profitable business model. They were a bit desperate to get the deal done, probably didn't even consider what was occurring in China at the time. They had significant operations in Southeast Asia. As far as I knew zero planning had been taking place until it was too late.

Essentially all revenue generating operations halted as of March 16th.

I was unfortunately leading the charge in a newly created division. We were not generating revenue yet, so the hammer fell for all of us.

Stay happy, stay safe, and keep hacking!
