Almost half of Russians (47.4%) plan to work on the May holidays, according to the results of a survey of 3,982 entrepreneurs, managers and employees of companies that we conducted the day before. Every tenth person would prefer to celebrate the Day of lifting the self-isolation regime or the Day of the fight against coronavirus instead of Labor Day.
According to 12% of respondents, the day when the self-isolation regime is lifted venezuela whatsapp list in Russia should become a new Labor Day , and they propose celebrating this day instead of May Day. Another 16% propose establishing a Day of Fight against Coronavirus and celebrating it instead of Labor Day.
70% of respondents said that under the self-isolation regime they no longer feel the need for long weekends or vacations. 38.5% of respondents, in particular, would prefer to spend these days working, and 31.7% do not see the point in a large number of non-working days under the current self-isolation regime and the impossibility of going anywhere due to closed borders. 30% of respondents, on the contrary, spoke about the accumulated fatigue during self-isolation and the desire to rest on holidays or during vacation.
"There was very little hope that the May holidays would be moved to a later time and declared working days. However, we were interested to find out from our users whether they were tired of resting and what they were going to do during the holidays under quarantine. The thirst for activity, judging by the figures, wins, but by a small margin," Megaplan CEO Sergey Kozlov commented on the survey results.
In early April, 93.3% of Russians we surveyed (company owners, hiring managers, line employees, the self-employed and freelancers) expressed confidence that the self-isolation regime would be extended in May for at least two weeks.
