"Definitely will if I survive." How IT specialists work during alarms

Recruiter Tetyana Kozachenko shared her work experience when the alarm sounds. Other IT-guys came to her in the comments and told whether they are ready to neglect their safety and how they work in difficult times of shelling.

Tatyana shared three examples from her own experience of how the team reacted to anxiety and how she herself behaved, in particular:

  • At my last place of work, where I worked for almost 3 years and «met» a full-scale accident, the company and the manager took our safety seriously. From the very first day, the manager made a roll call, was constantly interested in us, asked if we needed help, and when the period began, when it was already necessary to visit the office from time to time, there was an iron rule — in case of alarm, immediately go to the shelter. There was a choice either to the basement floor or immediately under the office there was a transition that led to the subway, but it was mandatory! If the manager was also with us in the office that day, she, like a mother hen, led us chicks to the shelter, more often it was the subway, and there we sat on folding subway chairs and talked, and sometimes played some games.
  • There was a period in another place when everyone decided for himself whether to go somewhere or sit still.
  • Now I am faced with the fact that the nearest shelter is the subway, about 7 minutes from the office, and colleagues are sitting on their seats in alarm, and are very surprised when you are going to hide somewhere and monitor the situation in the news, and in the morning, when the alarm occurs, you stay in the subway until the break.
Dmytro Radionov, Chief Sales Officer

I sit still and work. It will fly so it will fly. Point. He did not leave Kyiv for all these 3 years.

My colleagues are free to do as they see fit, as they choose for themselves.

Andriy Sartek, Front-End Develope
I do not run anywhere at all, but I believe that it is impossible to forbid going to the storage room.
Kateryna Bobrovnyk, HR
At home, I always sacrifice my safety — but this is an anti-example, I have never gone into a shelter at home, I don’t even know where it is. But I went to work — there was shelter, and I don’t want anyone to be responsible for my safety
Iryna Zahaykevich, QA Engineer
She had the experience of staying with her colleagues in a shelter during rocket fire, while our manager remained at the workplace. He somehow called me (although the mobile connection in the shelter had almost no reception) and asked me to scan the contracts for him. It seems that he did not even notice that everyone had disappeared somewhere, although we offered to go down with us, and he did not yet notice the loud sounds of the air defense. When I answered that I was not in the office at the moment, he was incredibly surprised and asked about the completion of the assigned task, to which I replied, quote, «that I will definitely complete it if the office survives and there is electricity so that the scanner can work, and also if I I will survive.» After such an answer, there were no questions or complaints. Come on, even if we all made millions at that job, it wouldn’t be worth it, because we only have one life.
Taras Popovych, Tech Recruiter
Safety cannot be neglected, but work is not a wolf, but a wolf.
Hanna Romanishyna, founder of AcroLogic Consulting
No one will provide you with your basic needs (safety, food, etc.) except yourself. The employer has his own goals, but he must provide shelter for his employees.
