Thrilled to see #Microsoft walking the walk and taking care of their hourly support staff, many of who are contracted via vendor partners and not even direct Microsoft employees. Service and support workers are often beloved individually (who doesn't love the barista that makes your latte just right or the sandwich maker who cuts a perfect triangle for you) but invisible en masse. Especially important in cities where cost of living is already brutally high for many - Seattle and the Puget Sound area fit that bill. I hope others who are shuttering campuses consider these kind of actions. https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2020/03/05/covid-19-microsoft-hourly-workers/ #covid19 #workfromhome #walkthewalk
