Working Remotely for a Ukranian Company During War

Problem: I am unable to have any contact or finish my training exercises and I am still getting a

paycheck, but it has been hard being outsourced by a country at war.

• War started in Ukraine

• Men ages 15-60 were unable to leave the country and were expected to fight

• Team stability with Ukrainian companies has become unpredictable due to no contact with my

boss or HR

• Mass graves found so that makes it more difficult and concerns for my bosses' safety

• I am still receiving a paycheck but have absolutely no way to contact my boss or the HR

department because no one will respond

• War has the most major contributing factor of the uncertainty of my job or the lives of my

coworkers

• Fighting increases the risk of death, and the bombing of the country has wreaked havoc on

buildings and security of life

• Mass graves could be reason for no response

• A lot of business has relocated and shut down in Ukraine and that could be a reason I am no

longer able to contact the HR department or the office

• Risks include the war and the uncertainty of when it will be over

• My boss and office overseas could no longer exist since no contact has been returned to me

since January

• I do not want an unexpected demand for payments I have still been receiving that is why I have

kept record of all efforts of contact.

• I love my job and my company, but I may need to come to the realization that they may never

return, and it is time to start looking for another job.

• One trap may be that I expect the war will end sooner and I will get more of an explanation.

Positive outcome bias might be a trap for me.

• Avoiding the need for a quick closure would also be a trap due to the hope if the war ends, I will

hear from my company.
