Как Investors In Ideas Ltd. прокинули программиста на 750$, прикрываясь коронавирусом

Пишет Анонимус: «З міркувань збереження моєї власної доброї карми у світі найманих працівників, прошу не розкривати мої персональні дані.

Поїхали
Вони всіх кидають на гроші.
Ви не дізнаєтесь прізвища власника. Він таємний містер Майкл.
За адресою реєстрації в Лондоні — порожня поштова скринька, а не офіс.

Почнуть з того, що візьмуть вас без технічної співбесіди і запропонують 80% від тієї зарплатні, що ви очікували. Обіцяють офіс в центрі і житло.

Жити будете з господаркою в одній квартирі. За житло ще знизять зарплатню.

Один із найнятих поставив відмітку на сайті, через яких він знайшов роботу. Отримав скандал, бо тепер вони були винні по-чесному сплатити сайту за найманого працівника.

Зарплатня в конверті. Перша виплата нараховується (не сплачується) через місяць від початку роботи. А виплатити обіцяють через місяць після нарахування, але після дощика в четвер. І коли в них гроші будуть. Виплатять вам трохи, щоб ви продовжували як дурні працювати і не пішли шукати роботу. Якщо вас знайдуть у рекрутингових об’явах, чекайте на утиски. І так будуть у вас у постійному боргу за два місяці, а ви у постійній надії і перевтомлений, щоб не шукати щось краще.

Тричі в день чекінг, що ви зробили до 12 до 15 до 19.

Робочій день 10 годин — 30 хв обід. Штрафи за все.

Ніяких Різдва, Паски, чи інших вихідних країни, тільки субота неділя вихідний.
Ніяких «печеньок». Воду заказують, але не завжди. При переїзді програмісти носили додолу меблі, грузили їх на машину і носили на поверх.

Наміри про звільнення треба повідомити за місяць.

І так я проробив місяц лютий. Отримав 3 000 грн. В день, коли був власник, його дочекався бувший програміст, хапав за шкирку і кричав: «де моя зарплата?»

Я роздивився, що робиться навкруги і подав у відставку. Досі більше ні копійки. І відповідають, що тепер через коронавірус не можуть заплатити.

Винні мені 850$ мінус 3000 грн з лютого 2020 по сей день. Після мого чергового листа з запитом про виплату боргу, із словами, що я вже маю сумніви щодо їх порядності, я отримав таку відповідь:

For Mr. Michael

Dear Mr. Michael.
January 13th was my first working day.
On February 12, the month of my work ended.
The list of my works is below in the application.
Sorry, I’ll leave March 13th.
According to the contract, I have to warn about this for a month.
I am doing it now.

The reason for my dismissal is a state of health.
I stood in line for a hip prosthesis, and suddenly the time came when I could not postpone the surgery. After the surgery, there will be a long rehabilitation period. I will need finances for this.

I ask you, if possible, to pay me the remuneration that I earned, earlier than the term stipulated in the contract. With respect and gratitude for the excellent opportunity to work in your team. Ruprecht (имя изменено — прим. ред.)

I don’t want to disturb you, so please just let me know when could I take my remuneration.
Thank you very much.

13/02/2020 Victoria Roberts
From Mr Michael
Okay. I will forward your message Steve as he processes the payment schedule.

13/02/2020 me
Dear Mr. Michael,
please let me know when could I take my remuneration.
Best regards,

From Mr Michael
I have forwarded your letter for a reply today.

19/03/2020 me

Hi Mr. Michael and colleagues, I hope you have everything and will be fine.
I have to offer you an alternative way to transfer my salary. Here are the details. You have two options for sending money: from an individual or from a company.

Beneficiary

IBAN

……………

Please inform your decision.

Yours sincerely …… ……….

At this time I absolutely need the money.

22/04/2020 me
Hi Mr. Michael.
Please kindly pay me a salary according to our agreement.

23/04/2020 Victoria Roberts
We are paying people and bills in Ukraine in a staggered way at the moment because the travel restrictions due to COVID 19 have actually got stricter. The signatory for our bank account in Ukraine is stuck in lockdown in London and cannot travel so this limits the size and number of transactions we can process. Unless he can travel, he cannot authorise a local signatory, but if he could travel he wouldn’t need to. We are using a mixture of company and private accounts to move money as an emergency measure, but because of Ukrainian government regulations on things such as tax avoidance how much we can do this is very limited. With only a limited number of transactions permitted we have to prioritise our payments, and first priority has to be the rents on the flats we lease for the staff and the rent on the offices. There is still a lot of uncertainty at the moment and it is not possible to predict when the banks will let us transfer money, or when any but the most essential payments can be made.

We understand that everyone has money problems at the moment, inflation is increasing and the problems are affecting everyone, but until we can move people and money about again we have to keep trying to do what we can when we can.

Yours sincerely

The Management

23/04/2020 me
Dear Mr. Michael.
Your desire to pay me in cash can not be a reason for your failure to comply with the terms of the contract.
Please send me funds to my private entrepreneur account.
I will pay all necessary taxes according to the laws of Ukraine.

Dear Mr. Steve.
I make sure that the management of the company is doing indecent actions. They cheat on me and do not pay my salary. Could you tell me what to do to prevent a misunderstanding.

Sincerely, Ruprecht. (имя изменено — прим.ред)

27/04/2020 Stephen
Hello Ruprecht, I’m sure they aren’t cheating, it’s just everyone is stuck in the wrong places because of COVID 19 so nothing can happen, Everyone is trying to work, but unless the right person is in the right place to sign documents at the bank then the bank won’t let any money get transferred. In London we aren’t allowed to travel much and nobody can get into Kyiv. I know that some bills had to be paid with personal credit cards last month because the company couldn’t do bank transfers and we can’t do that for everything. Even after everything starts moving again it will take a few weeks to get everything back to normal.

29/04/2020 me
Hi and thanks for the answer.
My Kiev friends work for a London company at an address located in the SOHO area. They have no problem paying. I ask you to tell me the amount in dollars and the approximate period of time when the company will be able to pay salaries.

The answer, such as after the coronavirus, but before the second coming of Christ, is not very clear.

29/04/2020 Stefan
I’m not dealing with that at the moment, all I know is the company has to pay Ukraine from the Ukrainian account and to do that someone has to be there to sign. I sometimes work out numbers when they get sent to me, but nothing has been sent recently, so I don’t know the timetable. Viktoria has been stuck in Lviv, she is supposed to be in Prague, Mr Michael is stuck in West London and he is supposed to be in Kyiv, I was going to be in Germany this week, but I’m also stuck in East London. Our accountant is in West London, so I can’t see him, he is self isolating and I don’t have his home phone number. Until people can move around to be in the right place we can’t give clear answers

05/18/2020 me
Hi mr. Michael tell me please the amount in dollars and the approximate period of time when the company will be able to pay my salaries.

Victoria Roberts
You will get a letter regarding this later. Meanwhile, I’m sure you are aware that am not in Ukraine and the government still has restrictions.

05/18/2020 me
My Kyiv friends work for a London company in the SOHO area. They have no problems with payment. Your answer is reminiscent of reluctance, because those who want to pay their employees have a way. What is so special about you?

05/08/2020 me
I have a long patience and do not give up. But if after a long time my patience will runs out and I will see that you have no good reason not to pay me a salary and i will decide that you are a fraud. I will start such an information campaign so that your Ukrainian office and residence will closed, unprofitable and can no longer hire any people. For this purpose I will use all means available to me. Maybe you have problems in Ukraine, but then I will become your real problem.

05/08/2020 Victoria Roberts

In light of your disrespect, criminal blackmail and threat. I will no longer communicate with you.

05/08/2020 me ***
With this answer you confirmed my doubts about your dishonesty.
Shame of you.

Deuteronomy 24:15

15 Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor and are counting on it. Otherwise they may cry to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty of sin.
