You know how many companies have ordered their staff to work from home given the rapidly spreading coronavirus or Covid-19?

Well, not every company can afford to do this.

Some jobs require hands-on work and hence the companies involved cannot allow their staff to work from home.

One such company is the company that Japanese Twitter user @the_folkees works for.

According to SoraNews24, @the_folkees recently shared a post that showed how his/her company appreciated staff that turned up for work in such dire times.

To show gratitude, @the_folkees ‘s company gave its employees a thank you letter and a really nice ‘present’.

Beautiful words with a surprise gift

This is what was written in the letter:

New-type Coronavirus Countermeasure Support Funds

Hey everybody,

Thank you very much for making the difficult effort of meeting with clients and going to job sites every day, even as the coronavirus crisis is ongoing. 

We are providing support funds to be used for the reasons listed below.

1. To show our appreciation for your hard work for our company during this unsettling period.

2. To aid you in purchasing coronavirus preventive supplies such as masks and hand sanitizer, which have been rapidly rising in price.

3. Because good health requires taking proper care of bout your physical and mental condition, please use this money to purchase groceries to cook, rent videos to watch, or otherwise make your time at home more enjoyable.

In difficult situations like the current one, let’s all keep looking ahead to better things to come.”

The letter didn’t only sound nice, but it came with 30,000 yen (RM1,221)!

Sometimes that little bit of appreciation goes a long way.
