As a small business owner, I learned early on that I can’t do it alone. Growing Chat Tech into what it is today took the blood, sweat, and tears of many hard-working individuals who took pride in their work. From electricians who pulled network wires late at night to local warehouse workers who helped carry boxes to the car, I’ve gotten to meet many great people. It’s never been hard to identify those who cared about their work as well as their inner-peace, harmony, and sanity. It’s also no surprise most of these folks worked in places where they were valued, listened to, and cared for.
As we make our way towards the Labor Day weekend, I’d like to take a moment to thank Daniel and Hannah from our team. I could fill a book with all the moments they have impressed me with their professionalism, dedication, and care. Our work can be stressful, and hours of sitting in a fixed position is taxing on our bodies. There are days that start with problems, days that require patience, and days that are difficult for personal reasons. Yet day after day Daniel and Hannah take their seats, not only to do their jobs, but to also seek for ways to do it better from the day before with passion.
As the author Mokokoma Mokhonoana puts it so very nicely: “Though you can love what you do not master, you cannot master what you do not love.” We feel our labor does not just equate money – it is an extension of who we are, how we care for others, and how we value ourselves.
I salute you for your labor of caring of your clients. May someday each and every hard-working person receive the recognition they deserve and be treated fairly.
– Burak Sarac, Team Lead
