MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th March, 2023) In this digest, we will tell you how often Russians decide to leave a company during the probationary period, what is the most desired jewelry piece from movies among Russians, and about a contemporary art fair that has just kicked off in Moscow.
More than 20% of Russians fail to successfully pass the probationary period at work and leave their new job by the end of it, a fresh poll by Russia's largest online employment search service, HeadHunter, revealed on Thursday after interviewing nearly 3,200 job seekers.
Two out of three respondents, or 67%, have always successfully passed their probationary period. Over 70% of those are builders, lawyers, top managers, IT specialists or are employed in manufacturing and agriculture.
Another 23% said they left their company during the probationary period of their own free will. These are most often employees aged from 25 to 44 (24%), workers and administrative staff (29% each), as well as salespeople and young professionals with no experience (27% each).
In general, about 75% of employees have faced a trial period, while only one in five have not had to undergo one when they were employed. The highest share of those who were employed without a probationary period can be found among workers in the field of science and education, builders, workers and those employed in the tourism sector.
Additionally, more than half of Russians believe that the probationary period is not necessary.

Russians consider the ring of Omnipotence from the epic trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" to be the most desirable piece of jewelry from movies, according to a fresh poll jointly conducted by jewelry shop Sokolov and the A2:Research analytical agency.

Additionally, more than 65% of Russians have bought clothes or jewelry similar to those in movies they liked. Most often, respondents tried to repeat the look as a whole (44%), but almost a quarter focus only on the jewelry.
