Potato Corner CEO Jose Magsaysay Jr talks of making 'calculated decisions' while adjusting to the 'chaotic atmosphere' in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.
In the Philippines' epicenter Metro Manila, around 70% of Potato Corner stores have opened up, but sales and operations are expected to go down to as low as levels last seen in 2016.Magsaysay also admitted that the company is currently"rightsizing" or laying off employees, though he did not specify the number of those affected.
"If everything's in chaos, our company will have to move in chaos also. So we have to map what government is doing…make calculated decisions while trying to move around that chaotic atmosphere."While the capital region is still struggling to recover, Potato Corner is looking at provinces and cities with low COVID-19 cases.
