Minsk Companies Get New "Chain Letters" Before Holidays

The authorities came up with another duty for entrepreneurs.

Zhanna Arkhipava, the general director of the BelPronto company, has posted on Facebook a screenshot of the letter, in which she is recommended to hire 10 people in December.

As reported by the media, the letter has been sent to 218 enterprises.

"Silicon Valley in action. I have to employ 10 people according to the executive committee’s order. I'd say I got off cheaply! Some companies (on the list) have to employ 200! Hello, liberalization! Who promised us Singapore-2 the other day?!" – Zhanna Arkhipava responded.

The general director’s friends responded to the instructions of the Savietski district administration in the comments:

"A teambuilder, a psychologist, a hirer, a deputy on ideology, a full time florist and a dress manager are six, think yourself about four more, or ask in the executive committee)))".

"I once got a similar letter, then they called and asked about my progress in the implementation and asked me to send them a documentary confirmation of executing the instructions. I answered them in two words, without censorship. They never disturbed me again, apparently, they followed my advice."

"I know a lot of people who will happily "get employed" and who will not even need a salary – all in order not to be considered "parasites" and not to pay this freaking tax. By the way, their "salary" is a convenient thing for cash-out, if necessary. Though, it is unclear what to do with the NSSF."
