About to join them, have a GC but a πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί passport. The Cisco news has me worried, does anyone know if Google has/will stop vests for Russians?

    If the government/regulations mandates it, I don't see how Google can escape it.

      YouTube is only one part of Google. Play store for Android, Chromebook/chromeos, chrome browser etc are still used and supported in Russia.

      It's possible Google may fully pull out, but that's not yet the case.

      You can't pay for an on Play Store with a Russian bank card so it's largely financially irrelevant to Google.

  • Cisco cheap as f.. first of all, it’s their own (wrong) interpretation of the decree. Second-why do they follow Russian decrees? And third-if they claim they worry about employees-why not just sell vesting stock and give it as cash bonus?

    IIRC this is not even a correct interpretation of the decree. The decree prohibits Russian citizens from transferring money to their foreign bank accounts but not foreign companies.

  • If so then G is too stupid or will use opportunity to become racist bs.

    Cisco news is fake OR its stupid as decree is only for residents. Russian citizen who lives abroad is non-resident! Period! Fake news are everywhere!
