The first deputy chairman and co-owner of Sovcombank, Sergey Khotimsky, said that the bank had already transferred about ten people to work “with accommodation”.
He explained that this measure “concerns the heart of the bank - this is treasury operations”, therefore “the main group of the most important specialists for the bank who are responsible for daily settlements lives in the bank: they are completely isolated, sleeps, eats, bathes in the bank, does not communicate with relatives until the pandemic ends. ”
Khotimsky added that these employees voluntarily agreed to self-isolation in the office for a higher salary.
