Avito Armenia initially promised its employees favorable conditions, including a salary conversion rate slightly above the Central Bank rate. However, over time these conditions began to change. Employees were transferred from NET to NET, and from VAT to VAT, that is, the difference between Russia’s 13 percent income tax and Armenian 20 percent income tax is deducted from their net salary. In addition, the change in the domestic exchange rate further affected the wages.
In July, it was informed that the bonuses given to employees due to outstanding performance would be reduced from 100% to around 70%. According to the news of the Telegram channel, this was done to equalize the employees of Avito’s Russian enterprises who receive salaries in rubles. But the company did not stop there.
Employees were then put in a difficult position: on one side of the scale was undetermined salary and on the other, potential unemployment.
