Popular Russian blogger Artemy Lebedev constantly advised Russians not to do freelance work. The designer personally wrote Telegram-The channel that works without permanent employment creates problems and does not allow development in the profession.
“99% of freelancers run out in a few years, because even the most talented person in the world needs colleagues, a second opinion, senior and junior comrades, competition, criticism, praise, evaluation,” he said.
According to Lebedev, when a freelancer stays at home, “he doesn’t learn anything new, he just spends his resource.” “It might be enough for one, three, five years, but then it will still weaken like crops without fertilizer,” the blogger said.
The designer is confident that there is a constant need for “brain supply support” that can be provided by people around and outside the same company. “You can just go to collaborative work or attend lectures and master classes. It is easier and cheaper to maintain the required level of development in just one company,” he concluded.
Former Artemy Lebedev reacted About the mass dismissal of employees at the American IT company Meta (recognized and banned in Russia as extremist). He called the laid-off workers “idlers”.
