The working week (February 8-12) was accompanied by loud (and not so) personnel changes in the largest Russian IT companies and media resources.
Someone headed the new division, and someone - the new company. Some companies just decided to make a “castling”. Someone it seems insufficient to establish two companies and take the presidency in the third. Therefore, he is looking for personnel for two new projects.
"Megamind" invites readers to recall these events and make a "commit" of the changes that have occurred.
