Piloting COVID-19 Community Management for China Airlines

It's been six months since Rooster began working from home courtesy of COVID-19 closing office doors around the world. During this time, we've all had to adapt to a new working environment without office banter, endless tea rounds, and plenty of notebooks to hand. To reacclimatise, we've mixed up our lunch routines, introduced new ways to embrace the time we spent commuting, and replaced meetings with Zoom calls.  There have been highs, lows, and in-betweens but — like everyone else — we're just making our way through these 'unprecedented times'.
