Foreigners in Poland - the identities of our native or the host country [66]
No one is suggesting Poland would not succeed without its foreign investors, although FDI has moved things along much swifter.
FDIs are not homogenic, there are some good and bad, altough those bad are mainly fault of naive/corrupted "Polish" authorities... they should never be allowed here... but I think we're talking about different things here... I've been working for quite a few foreign companies operating in Poland... most had 0 foreigners residing here... one had many but those were basically call center/processing kids with rare language skills, we couldn't find locally... it's not that foreign people living in Poland are crucial to FDIs coming here really...
Grzegorz, if you decided to go and work in the next city, your first question would be whats in it for me.
Of course. I check the opportunities and either I take it or not, I don't expect the other city to change itself to accommodate my special needs.
In my opinion Poland could do more to encourage foreign entrepreneurs to this country.
First of all "Poland" should stop ruining our own business, there are very few things Poles couldn't produce without foreigners, a fact that foreign companies play so huge role here is a matter of totally failed strategy on the government level, basically it's an example of pathology, not something which should be promoted even further. I know plenty of examples when Poles were running a successful business only to be ruined by subsidized "foreign investors" at some point. The logic you promote here is totally incorrect, Turkey is a great example of a country, which is becoming powerful largely thanks to NOT being allowed to the EU and not allowing "foreign investors" to rape their domestic market freely.
There are communties of Ukrainians and Vietnamese living in Warsaw, I have never heard of communities of ' Expatriates' in Warsaw, this would suggest the Expats are assimilating into the Polish community.
There are many cases, even on these forums, of quasi "expats", who don't know Polish even after living here for many many years.
That would suggest you are not a PO supporter, Po is a supporter of business.
Yes, their own :)))
