That’s a pity. I work for a large US software company and after the war began, we made a decision to close all operations inside Russia. We gave our employees in Russia a choice, they could either stay in Russia and get a pretty nice severance package, or they could move out of Russia and get a pretty nice repatriation package to the country of their choosing. Many went to expensive places like Sweden and got their packages converted to local pay with many months extra pay for moving expenses. We didn’t fire any Russians living outside of Russia, of course. Assuming everyone from a country is a spy is pretty silly.
I don’t think they assume everyone is a spy. I think it’s that they aren’t confident in their ability to weed them out. Still seems extreme but really depends on the confidentiality of their work.
