Does your mum know what your job is about?

Yettel celebrates Mothers’ Day with a special open day

A Mothers’ Day survey conducted by Yettel Hungary among its employees and their families has revealed that one in three mothers have only a vague idea of what exactly their child’s job involves. The idea of the open day was inspired by the fact that although everyone talks to their parents about their work, they rarely get the chance to show what they do in real life.
