And Suddenly There Was War

"I will never forget how, on the morning of February 24, 2022, my supervisor called me and told me that I could stay home if I wanted to. Even for a week, if I felt too unwell to come in to work. Then she asked whether she or the company could do anything for me or my family. I was just a junior intern – but literally every colleague asked whether my family or I needed help, what they could do, where they could donate. My family, who arrived in Munich from Kyiv a little later, was even able to move in temporarily with a colleague and his wife until we found a place for them in Munich. That warmth and kindness, that support for a stranger like me, touched me deeply. And of course I stayed: first as an intern, then as a working student, and from September 2023 in a permanent position. I feel at home here: my colleagues are so kind, my work (I handle project development and administration) is genuinely varied – and the pay is right too. CreaLog and the people who work here have become something of a new home for me." Thank you so much, Anna Mutska, for sharing your moving story.
