Stripchat Navigates Pandemic with Professionalism, Empathy By Gene Zorkin When the COVID-19 pandemic first hit, Rick Morales, the Business Development Manager for Stripchat, said one of the big adjustments being made by a lot of other people was not one he faced himself.

Joking aside, Morales says of Budapest, “I love everything here” – but that doesn’t mean the pandemic hasn’t disrupted his life, both personal and professional, just as it has everyone else.

“I am more of a business development guy, you know, so I was already used to working remotely,” Morales told YNOT. “So, for me the main problem was when I realized that I was stuck in Budapest.”

“When the pandemic started I had around seven trips planned, and all were canceled,” Morales said. “While I enjoyed catching up on my emails and old tasks, I’m not always totally aware of how it works for those in the office.”

“And you know what? I am still here,” Morales added with a laugh.
