Today I met a friend who works as a nanny in a state kindergarten. She said, 'Oh, I'm so worried: they're promising to cut salaries, and I don't know how to make ends meet, so she's looking for extra work.' I asked, 'What is she earning now?' She said, '22,000 rubles' — I was shocked. And what are they promising? Around 15,000. I came home and just sat there in shock. How can salaries be this low these days?
My daughter has been having strange dreams for two days now. She tells me about them, and I realize…

Suhareva Olga So for the apartment, 10 [currency] now during heating season... how to live

Looks like the minimum wage, minus income tax, and no extra pay.

Suhareva Olga Your employer doesn't care about that

Elena Well, she says they'll remove all the surcharges, but 15 isn't even minimum wage.

Ugh, this is work for the sake of work.

Elena So the minimum wage is calculated before income tax, not so that you should receive it. Well, that's that... they can do whatever they want 🤷️

Yes, they can! Absolutely.

Elena Oh, I don't understand these charges, she just said the numbers and it's a really small amount today.

A top-up to the minimum is mandatory; you cannot pay less than the full-time minimum wage. This is a legal matter, and no one would take such a risk.

They absolutely can. In our economics department, salaries range from 20 to 35 (35 for the boss)
And the lawyer makes 35... CRB

This probably isn't a full-time position, considering the minimum wage. My mom is a retiree and, out of boredom, went back to work as a seamstress at her old sewing factory. It's a five-day week, and all the regular seamstresses earn just over 25,000 rubles, which is exactly the minimum wage. For her, as a retiree, it's fine. She only supports herself and also has income from renting out an apartment, so she goes to work more for the social aspect. But if you have a family, I have no idea how anyone could survive on that. As for 15,000 rubles, it's unclear how that works. It's likely a part-time job with few working days, suggesting a second job is needed.

It's quite possible in the regions.
Mom's salary is 24k (region), if it weren't for her pension, she could make ends meet.

Elenaa In the regions, especially if the city is not a million-plus city, a salary of 35 is quite good. This is with a 5/2 schedule from 8 am to 5 pm. With a 2/2 schedule of 12-18 hours, it can be up to 50

yankovskaya yuliya Maybe your husband can help, or perhaps some benefits. Currently, social assistance is paid to low-income families for food and utilities. It's sad that the standard of living is so low...

Mariya Yes, after tax deduction.
No more, no less 🤷🏼️
