Private entrepreneur

“The crisis hit our budget tremendously. I am a chief of a private business and the rent for our premises has gone up significantly. Now I’m just not able to pay people as much as I used to anymore. It’s horrible.”

Maksym Tkachenko

Sales manager

“I work at a company that produces and provides office supplies. Our enterprise is not experiencing staff reduction or budget cuts. On the contrary, the company is experiencing rapid growth and development.”

Volodymyr Belikov

Auditor at Sportmaster

“Yes, we’re already going through staff reductions at our stores. The workload is increasing. According of our financial director, we will feel the crisis to the full extent in three months. However, I am sure we’ll get back to normal during the year.”

Tetyana Dmytrenko

Employee of currency exchange

“No, it has not affected us at all. I don’t see any cuts in personnel or to the budget. However, rent for my apartment has increased greatly. My salary cannot keep up with such a speed. And, obviously, there is no prospect of a salary increase in the near future.”

Yevhen Kosteev

Programmer

“I work for a software company. There are no job cutbacks and no decrease in spending. The crisis has not touched us yet and, I am pretty sure, it will not in the future.”
