Unpaid Workers

At least, the employees at Trump’s policy headquarters in Washington quit after he refused to pay them. Back in our post-Soviet countries, they’d keep coming to work for the next decade. 

There is even a Russian joke where a businessman tells his buddy, “I haven’t paid my workers in a year but they keep coming. I don’t know how to make them go away!”

“Hey, have you tried charging them for showing up to work?” the buddy asks.
