Abstract

In March 2020, the world was faced with one of its biggest crises in health, economy and in facing factors that were adverse to a so-called evolved society. This confrontation was not given by a visible enemy, but by something that our generation had never experienced, a disease that did not distinguish any type of human being, and if it did not lead to death, it would leave everyone in a state of panic, fear and strong anguish for situations that would be experienced. The uncertainty at work, the very uncertainty whether everything we dreamed of in our career and life would be put to the test in the course of the pandemic. The objective of this study, under a qualitative perspective and through an experience report demonstrates how disease in physical and psychological sense could affect the company and more specifically the employee who occupies a leadership position from the perspective of Heidegger, tracing fears and anxieties arising from procedurality pandemic. The study, in the end, presents how it has been dealing with the most adverse situations at Covid 19, specifically in the world of work and their repercussions for the most varied sectors of the reporter's daily life in one of the cities where the level of infection and death were the in one of the countries where denial of facts resulted in thousands of deaths.
