The expert clarifies that a "remote worker" can also be fired if, without a valid reason, he does not interact with the employer on work issues for more than two working days in a row or arbitrarily changed the location of the work function, if this entails the impossibility of the employee fulfilling his duties under the employment contract under the previous conditions: "That is, if a remote worker, who, according to the employment contract, must meet with clients in Moscow, went to Thailand, and it is not very possible to meet with Moscow clients on a Thai beach, then he can be fired." But if the uae whatsapp resourceemployee can perform all his work duties on the beach and this does not harm his efficiency in any way, then there are no questions for him from the point of view of the law.
in Russia as a trend does exist, and this is a consequence of the career ceiling and frustration in the work of many line employees and middle managers: "In 2024, we surveyed 250 people from large and medium-sized companies aged 25-45, and 80% of the surveyed managers and executives said that now they are trying to do the minimum so as not to be fired, to attract less attention to themselves and at the same time look for another job, and 10% of specialists during career reviews admitted that they are trying to maintain efficiency and perform at the same level of performance on the verge of burnout and breakdown."
Vahe Zakaryan says that it is very important for companies not to go to extremes now and to assume that employees will take care of themselves and somehow find time to recuperate between meetings and completing assigned tasks: "Most likely, we are seeing the beginning of a new long-term trend. And after some time, we will see that employers have begun to think more about how to increase productivity, profit or some other significant parameter to the desired level, and at the same time they will not care from what geographical point their employee achieved success - at his desk or during a trip to the sea. In this regard, Russian employers and employees are faced with the same peculiarities of remote work as in the rest of the world. And the speed of overcoming misunderstandings and disagreements will be different everywhere - everything will depend on how quickly both parties understand that only the result determines everything, and focus on it."
Raisa Donskaya believes that the trend for "silent vacation" is not very widespread in Russia, because Russians have a different culture of work and rest: "We do not have, with the exception of some individual large corporations, fierce competition, where you can't rest under any circumstances, but there are holidays and guaranteed vacations, during which people have time to recover. Therefore, we simply do not have a great need for "quiet vacations."
But Anastasia Bastrykina, head of the communications agency PGR agency, is sure of the opposite: "If you can use a loophole or an additional degree of freedom for rest, they will definitely use it. This has always been the case, and therefore it cannot be said that millennials and zoomers are pioneers in how to get additional personal time without the approval of management. The desire to use a free period of time for rest instead of benefiting the company, oddly enough, is completely normal for an employee. And the manager's task is to create such conditions and rules in which step-by-step tasks and goals will guide employees to achieve results without unnecessary control and stress. And then you can see significantly more advantages in the remote work format than inconveniences, and a "quiet vacation" will not scare anyone."
