Isn’t it adorable how Russia thought it could keep paying people more during a war? Sounds like they’ve had a bit of a wake-up call, realizing that the “wartime economy” isn’t exactly a money tree. Salary hikes for new hires are dropping faster than I drop my phone when I see my bank account. I guess the new slogan is “Fight for your country, but don't expect a raise.” Who knew that “going to war” could lead to job offers that sound more like a friendly suggestion than an actual salary? What’s next? A free 'learn to live on ramen' course for all the newly hired? Let’s hear your thoughts – is this a genius strategy or just another case of “what were they thinking?” https://www.ft.com/content/5554ae15-4d8b-4df1-afa6-f8d3e982fff0 #WageGrowth #EconomicReality #RussiaNews #WarAndWork
