Telegram is sending notifications to users when their two-step verification credentials are altered.

It seems like Telegram is improving the security of Telegram users and now it seems they've planned to send the changes made to 2SV through the Service Notifications chat, something like you see in the picture.  Hopefully when its mainstream, they may add a way to reset unauthorized turning on of two-step verification.

Telegram is stepping up it's key security change handling by informing users of important change through Service Notifications chat. 

Telegram is now widely rolling out it's security notification for users, which now includes informing users of phone number change (previously it was only two-step verification).

Now if you make any changes to your two-step verification or phone number, Telegram will notify you of the change and these messages are session specific which means that if you have two sessions, for example, on Android and Desktop. Try making any changes to 2SV, you'll be notified. But if you delete that for both sides on your Android device, the Desktop will still show it.

Why the accounts of the people working in Telegram are not banned

Telegram applies the same rules to anyone, irrespective of the person. The only reason why the accounts of Telegram employees isn't banned is that they can't get a new number every time (Telegram's secrecy) and that they don't do any such thing to get a ban. They're private and don't contact anyone again and again, either simply or to test if a problem is solved. As they have access to then support and moderators, they can just send them a message and get their problem solved. They need not test it to see if it's solved because if they come across it again, they can ask support and it will be solved in seconds. Therefore, they don't break any kind of rule, as such to face bans. As simple as that.
