Experiences of Irish people who moved to Poland [27]
Poland is not the West
- Why not?
but my basic point is any westerner
- What do you mean by 'westerner'? What do you mean by 'the West'? Do you mean the so-called Wild West? :)
If you are part of a good family here (ie dating or married to their daughter) then hey will go out of their way to help you, but do not expect any stranger to life a finger.
Attitudes are more apathetic and negative...cost can be surprisingly high for many things...people can be friendly in the house for dinner but in a shop or government office it is maddening how unhelpful they can be. Rules for everything depend on who you are talking to at the time...and EVERYTHING has a maddening amount of bureaucracy attached to it.
- Well, it sounds like America to me, or in fact any other country.
Things that are commonplace in the West like customer service, warranties, good quality goods...are not commonplace here.
- And that's another lie. What a vicious liar.
Poles are also often very difficult to do business with...they complain a ridiculous amount and are very stubborn when it comes to the littlest things. If you have Poles working for you be prepared for loads of excuses and no accountability really.
- Hm, should the above be true, I wonder why we have such a massive foreign investment?
life is not as comfortable here in the big picture...most expats don't live here because it is a wonderful place to live...they live here because they have wives, kids or businesses here...and with the massive upcharge on imported goods and cheap labor you can make good business here...it's all about the money for most.
- Well, so you've been living here, in spite of the alleged discomfort, and it seems that in spite of those allegedly badly accountable, complaining, anti-business Poles you and scores of others have been making better living in Poland than in your own countries, including America? So after all, contrary to your other statements, you now say 'you can make good business' in Poland? See what a dumb liar you are?
Poland proper is by far the worst.
- Then why don't you get the hell out of here, along with your business (if you got any, loser)?
Out of my country, racist lying scumbag - now.
Well, as regards pooper and similar hate-spewing trolls in this forum, haven't I said in another thread that those like them come to this forum in order to spy on what is being said about their (widely disliked) 'ethnic group,' slander and create disharmony?
