Work / Polish salaries - New statistics [38]

Fresh doctors must do internship 12 months, then you only get 1000 zl/m. But it is a mix between education and job. After this 12 months you get more. It depends on where you work. But the salary during the 5-years specialist-training is not much.

Specialist doctor around 4500 zl/m (brutto), but then they have to pay tax. But it depends on several factors, can be a little less or more. If you have very high academic qualifications (e.g. dr. hab.) around 5000-5500 zl/m. But the vast majority of doctors do not have that.

Many specialist doctors also work some "extra hours" in private practice.

Work / Polish salaries - New statistics [38]

That minimum wage is very low.

Many make less than 2000 zl/m brutto.

If you have minimum salary you need at least 2 jobs. And many Poles have more than 1 job. It is a really hard life, especially if you have children.

Food / Warsaw's Królewskie beer [3]

I havent tried it.

But it is nice that there are (were) so many local beers in Poland.

However, the big companies buy most of those brands. It is easy for big companies, with a lot of money, to liquidate the competition from smaller companies. It is a little sad. But that is life with a free market economy.

Work / Polish salaries - New statistics [38]

Employees in Poland salaries - New statistics

But:

Counting based on average a mistake. This distorts the picture of wages . It is appropriate median . It shows the actual level of MOST Polish wages. Example ? Because what dodger as the company's CEO earns Treasury " hard work " , say, 40,000 , - PLN , and two subordinate employees after 1500 , - PLN , three at 2.000, - PLN , and one ( the head of which is regularly them all President podpie.rdala ) 5.000, - PLN . This means that on average, earn all the PLN 7714.29 ( 54.000 , - PLN / 7 people = 7714.29 PLN ) . They earn all that HO HO ! But the median of this sequence is 2.000, - PLN and it makes more sense illustrates the level of earnings in the sick company. Such a small difference.

The dark-blue line is average. The light-blue line is minimum. (zl/month)

Average now is 3601 zl/m.
Minimum is 1386 zl/m.
(brutto)

Love / What are Polish Women like? Just started to date one. [256]

This woman is just hedging her bets because she's too weak to be alone!

I suspect that too.

It seems like you dont trust each other fully. That is a very bad platform to built a relationship on.

Work / Got a job offer (involving Hungarian and Romanian languages) in Krakow. Potential salary? [28]

Minimum should be 5000 or 6000 pln.

That is what an experienced specialist doctor makes in big Polish cities.

For example where I live, in Bialystok, 5500 pln/month is for an experienced lekarz who is doktor habilitowany.
Specialist and Dr n. med. is approx 4000 pln/month.

However, many doctors also have a private clinic.

News / Wroclaw man helping police after recent events in Norway [48]

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Police NOW say the man is only helping with enquiries and is not a suspect in the case.

The Pole(represting his company) has been brought in to help with enquires, as you would expect, he has not been arrested.

Yes, as I wrote now. But the article was updated. First they said that he was arrested.

News / Wroclaw man helping police after recent events in Norway [48]

It seems now that the man in Wroclaw has been questioned, and his working place has been searched.
But he has not been arrested, and he is not a suspect at the moment.

It would probably be good to change the title of the thread. Maybe a moderator can do that.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

A tasty and cheap beer is Tatra (jasne).

There is also a stronger version called Tatra Mocne.

News / Wroclaw man helping police after recent events in Norway [48]

They have been arresting plenty of people the past days. and freed some of them already. The Norwegians are getting paranoid and mass arresting people atm.

Norwegian Police has not arrested anybody else than Anders Behring Breivik.

They were not arrested. They were taken to questioning, and then released.

Pole, who probably sold the criminal from Norway chemicals do not hear objections - denies Wroclaw prosecutors

The plea of aiding in the murder of the owner of the company that sells chemicals reported RMF FM . The man has to be known to the police . He had contacts with the Scandinavian countries , where it sold chemicals. They were used to manufacture bombs.

News / Wroclaw man helping police after recent events in Norway [48]

It will once again confirm one of the main leftist dogmas, that Poland is The Source of All Evil in the World.

I think that I have never read in any Scandinavian media, that Poland would be an evil country.
Rather the opposite, they often show sympathy with Poland and its history.

I'm confused, the link implies no one was arrested? Is it an updated version maybe?

They updated it now. Different Police sources have said different things.

I think everybody is confused now. We will have to wait and see.

Threads like that should be automatically deleted unless their title is neutral and ubiased.

It is very neutral. I just write what the Police have told. I did not add any values or personal thought about it.

News / Wroclaw man helping police after recent events in Norway [48]

Arrested in Wrocław.

Probably we will have more details soon.

The prosecutor's office in Wroclaw denied reports RMF FM that the police and the Internal Security Agency detained the owner of an online business that sells chemicals in the attacks in Norway.

- No one was arrested in this case , nor does it have him facing charges - says "Gazeta Wyborcza" Malgorzata Klaus , Speaker of the Wroclaw District Prosecutor's Office . At a press conference the representatives of the Internal Security Agency explained that the goods sold to the Norwegians were legal . Contacts between the seller of chemicals and the perpetrator of Friday's massacre were commercial in nature only . The owner 's are on as a witness .

Love / What is considered "dating" in Poland? [15]

inclarity creates misunderstanding sometimes

Many misunderstanding occur.

Maybe it takes some time before the persons can "feel in the air" whether it's dating or just "meeting".

But would there be a subtle way to present your position without hurting or don't look stupid acting on simply one's own mistaken presumption of the other person's intentions?

A good, but complex, question.

Love / What is considered "dating" in Poland? [15]

I don't think there is a sharp border when something starts to be dating. Probably it varies widely between different couples.

When 2 persons meet and starts to feel that it might lead to a relationship in the future, I would call it dating. But as you say, it's difficult to know what the other person thinks in the beginning.

But you will probably never find 1 universal definition of dating.

Is this an outing with a woman/man, no matter of what character?

I see 'woman+man' go out only as friends in Poland. So this would not be a good definition of dating.

Love / What are Polish Women like? Just started to date one. [256]

i'm worried that she'll do to me what she's done to him??

That is possible. And you have to consider that possibilty. If she does it now, she can do it again in the future. You can never be 100% sure.

once the relationship (sex) starts to get a bit stale as it always does do you think she'll start another affair?

The same answer as above.

Are some polish men like this

You can find this kind of men in every country. In Poland too for sure. I have seen it myself.

can some of them be as pretentious and devious as uk girls?

There are all kinds of personalities in both UK and Poland. It is not difficult to find pretentious and devious girls in Poland as well.
