Но самое странное: все дашборды были зелёными. CPU — в норме, память — в норме, 200 OK — летят.... Read more ›

Во множестве организаций существует такая фича социальной поддержки и удержания сотрудников, как корпоративные предоплаченные карты питания, или «foodcard», как их еще называют. Раз в квартал бухгалтерия перечисляет на них относительно небольшие суммы, которых хватает на кофе, аспирин и барбариски. Финансовым посредником выступает одна из расчетных некоммерческих организаций (НКО) в нашей стране. Работодателю это выгодно: схема дешевле, избавляет от проблем и снижает налогообложение, а НКО получает свой зак Read more ›
