My friend and I were having lunch the other day and we got on the topic of what I will put nicely as ‘Raised Voice’ management. My friend is Russian and works in a high level senior management position at a large Russian company. Her boss, the CEO, is always being yelled at by his boss, the shareholder, and he then, in turn, yells at her. This kept happening until one day she warned him that for every day he yells at her going forward, she would have to go home for a day to recover from the stress he was causing her. He could not do without her in the office for even one day, so he complied immediately and diverted his ‘Raised Voice’ management style onto other more vulnerable members of his management team.

Emigration out of Russia, Immigration into Russia; such big topics now everywhere. The passive majority do not really care about it much, but the active minority, and the black press, sure like to stir this one up, especially now that Putin is likely headed back to the top figurehead spot. A lot of what I read and hear on the subjects I find to be just basic complaining and dredging up the past, I suppose as a way of one, or one group, or one group backing a publication, trying to be competitive and win the support of their thoughts on the matter. It is not really of interest to me because I am somewhat content and happy with things and believe that great things will continue to happen for me now and in the future, and for a vast number of people in Russia.

Being an Expat in Russia in the 1990s was really fascinating. It was a very young, fun and fast environment where everyone joked that their companies offered them hardship allowances just to live in Russia, when in fact the secret was that it was actually a quite easy and highly interesting place to live. We all knew back then that in twenty years time, Russia would be a different place for Expats, and it is.

Returning to the office this week from my annual summer holiday was bittersweet. Fabulous news that four of our Staffwell team members were marrying (and marrying each other!); followed by very sad news that one of our Staffwell employees had died (our first death in the Company).

In response to feedback and requests from the last salary survey I wrote, this survey covers many of the roles not covered before that people were specifically interested in getting salary ranges on, and additional information on benefits and bonuses, and statistics on gender hiring. Exciting stuff!
