Personnel changes in the largest IT and media companies in Russia and the world this week
The working week (April 18-22) was accompanied by loud (and not so) personnel changes in the largest Russian IT companies and media resources.
Someone spread rumors about his resignation, but now he does not want to comment on them. Someone just took an “academic leave”. Someone took the post, which was empty for six months.
Some employees were lucky to get an invitation to work in the “high-tech city”. And some companies are no strangers to making massive reductions, even when the bill goes to tens of thousands of laid-off ones.
