Example 2

Andrei, director of company Arico, hires

accountant Volodya to check and put in

order corporate financial accounts and

to make quarter and annual tax reports.

It takes Volodya one month to check

and put in order company’s financial

accounts.

Volodya worked 16 hours a day,

including weekends and holidays.

Example 2

Let’s assume that Andrei is genuinely

dissatisfied with Volodya’s work, and

he would like to fire (уволить)

Volodya. Andrei thinks that Volodya’s

work is crap, and does not want to pay

any money.

In fact, there were lots of mistakes in

Volodya’s work, and his work was

extremely bad.
