Swift/IOS Developer Vyacheslav Gudzenko talked about his experience of working during shelling and asked the community how they conduct calls in modern realities.
«Arrivals during work calls. Today was the morning daily call. I, a developer from Kryvyi Rih, one of the co-owners and product. The owner and the product are not Ukrainians. And so, during the conversation about which screens are better for the AppStore, this new unknown crap-rocket flies to the boy from Kryvyi Rih. It’s good that it’s not near him, but nearby. He is scared, I understand what happened, my colleagues from abroad are in a slight shock. And suddenly those screens are not so important, there is an existential reassessment of values,» he said about the work circle on November 21, when a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile flew over the Dnipro.
Gudzenko asked whether other specialists had similar situations. The post resonated — the people of Haiti left more than 50 comments under it.
«My house is near the road, and when Hero is taken on the shield and I’m doing an online interview, it’s very difficult. It’s worse than when I heard rockets outside my window,» said recruiter Victoria Mirkevich .
«Yesterday, at a meeting with the client’s team: part of it was from Lviv, the other part was from Georgia. The siren went off, there was a pause, I said: «don’t pay attention, it’s our drones, let’s continue,» shared the Founder of AcroLogic Consulting, Hanna Romanyshyn .
Anton Gusev, Senior Software Engineer, says he has a call with a client from Israel. «But you have to give them credit, they take alarms more seriously than we do, and there were several times when the game was put on hold while everyone was in the vaults,» he said.
Specialist Lidia Gavrylenko said that she once passed on the bathroom floor. «Ballistics or something else was flying. A week later, I received an offer,» the girl shared.
And recruiter Yevgenia Bereshchuk shared a story about a candidate from Kharkiv. «He was sitting with a laptop on the balcony, he has a wonderful workplace there. He says: „Wait a minute, I’ll close the balcony now, because the anxiety and flying drones are getting in the way.“ He comes back and continues the interview,» she said.
«When I called, they sent me a photo of my destroyed house, where my grandmother was. Everyone is alive, but I don’t even remember how I ended that call,» said marketer Alina Chuh .
«In Kryvyi Rih, it’s easier with loud noises — if it confuses or scares the client on the wheel, you can say that it’s just a planned career explosion,» Anastasya Kudryavets presented.
«I’m in Kharkiv, I had an explosion somewhere in the city, and it was audible. I did a demo. Explosion-pause. Client: Are you ok? Me: I’m fine. Let’s proceed. Everything,» said Software Testing Engineer Nataliya Ryzhenkova .
