Work / Salary indication job in Poland [44]

I would remind you BubbaWoo that I heard on polish radio that doctors and specialist were asking for a pay increase to equal 5000zl a month for doctors and 7000zl for specialist... say no more! keep in mind that the average wage in Poland is 2500zl a month...(don't forget the tax)

not quite sure what youre reminding me of lef... could you expand...

Life / Black people in Poland [357]

dont be scared blackman... you will encounter racism in every part of the world... and i believe you already know this... poland is no different... you will find people that are not comfortable with the colour of your skin... but you will also find people who will welcome you with open arms... you might also find that you have a lot of fun... :)

Love / Matrix says that POLISH GIRLS= NOTHNIG SPECIAL [279]

ooohhh. much better than that...!

you are grabbed by your peers and knocked to the ground... everybody then grabs your legs... arms... anything else that comes to hand and throws you up in the air then slams you back down to the ground... once for every year you are celebrating... putting the boot in refers to being kicked in the back as you fall back down...

Work / Salary indication job in Poland [44]

i think the key thing here is not wanting to work for less than your worth... and i imagine as you have the skills they require (university degree in finance, and fluent in both Dutch and English) you are probably worth quite a lot...

i have a number of freinds working for large multinationals in warszawa and krakow... they command salaries not far off what i would expect them to earn in the UK... which is a lot of money in poland....

Admin doesn't take personal offense. :)

Language / "like" problem [29]

I find it very confusing that in english there is only one word for two things

thats the wonder of the english language :)

one word can mean many things

many things can have the same word

good... innit...?

we could say, for the sake of argument, that it goes without saying that you like somebody's character by the very fact that you are happy to spend time with them... it doesnt really need to be said... if you actually tell then that you like them then the meaning given is normally a lot stronger...

Life / Poland is wearing me down. :( Polish excuses... [30]

and for the others that slag me,...i have nothing to say. I will not lower myself to your level.

naucz... having read the complete thread... it appears that no one is actually slagging you... or lowing themselves... they are offering open and honest thoughts to your OP...

and with fear of having accusations levied at myself... perhaps this is the very attitude that is causing the coldness from your colleagues... there appears to be an oversinsitivity and defenceness that often comes from adjusting to living in new cultures...
