Work / Diversity in Poland especially in workplace [90]

@Rich Mazur

To be honest I have some empathy for people less fortunate than me and yes I think disabled people should have chance to work. Everything is about common sense. I don't know what elevator you are talking about ? some extreme example. Nowadays in big offices there are elevators big enough for wheelchair or just office on ground floor. So office condition should be reviewed before this sort of employment is considered.

Quotas....brings quite negative connotations.

I don't think disabled people would be forced to work they can't do plus you need work place adjusted for them but I think they should have opportunity to work, earn money feel as a part of society.

If everyone was in wheelchair there would not be diversity.....Why can't you employ someone in wheelchair ? Do you think disabled people should be locked and not seen????

Work / Diversity in Poland especially in workplace [90]


Theoretically shouldn't but...without taking sides.

On one side there are some racist people on the other lots black people with a chip on their shoulder. You can't tell them off about anything at work as they cry racism straight away. I think there are few black women in UK politics....not great now. one was over-speeding and hiding it...another from labour talks lots tosh.

HR - we talk about bigger Companies. Small one don't have much of HR - maybe form time to time some external adviser.

I ma not sure if I have so much trust in HR people - sometimes they act very sensible but sometimes don't want to be too much involved.

Because it is difficult process - It is fine when team is diversified but if it is not and Manager needs to employ someone extra it gets difficult. If someone is different ( much older, different social class...) this person will not fit within the team and will not feel well there. There is a risk he/she will resign.

It is not only problem in Poland - Situation like this happened to me in UK but I also witnessed it in Companies I worked.

I think question was about diversity at work not emigration. By Diversity I understand not only nationality but also sex, age , ..sometimes education.

Work / Diversity in Poland especially in workplace [90]

I think that diversity in Polish workplaces grows in a very natural way ( not forced ). There are workers coming from South of Europe - Italy, Spain, Portugal where unemployment is quite high. Recently lots Indians apply for jobs in Poland. ( especially IT specialist). I would say it is very healthy diversity which bring people with new skills ideas to workplaces in Poland.

History / Why is Poland weaker than Russia? [390]


With sure it would save you some money. My friends- English-went to Russia few years ago. They were not impressed by one thing- As soon as it was noticed that they are from 'west' Europe some unexpected extra charges appeared everywhere.

Life / What do decent Poles think about true rightists ? [148]

From my observation in the UK- the second generation of European immigration assimilate very smoothly there.

People who can't read and write in their own language...How long would it take before they can run independent life in new country- 100 years :-(

Life / What do decent Poles think about true rightists ? [148]

Why?......I thought all these 3 countries invited so many refugees with open arms and no integrating policies now?- it is like catastrophe waiting to happen!

Life / What do decent Poles think about true rightists ? [148]

I suppose it is in any country not just Poland. Without language you feel quite isolated. Even in places like Belgium, Holland....where people are quite bilingual it can be tiring in any social meeting to switch to English all the time (as sort of international language nowadays).

Life / What do decent Poles think about true rightists ? [148]


I think that the main reason that immigrants 'have to ' assimilate relatively quickly in Poland is that we don't have this 'postcolonial guilt'. We were bit homogenous before and I find it quite pleasant seeing second generation of Vietnamese immigrants speaking perfect Polish. Sign of good assimilation with natives :-)

UK, Ireland / Polish passport - Can I apply from the UK? [51]

@terri
Nowadays they take your fingerprints and later check them again when you collect it. I think it is quite good idea.

UK, Ireland / SMART MOVE! Thousands of Poles are leaving the UK because 'life is a piece of s*** here now'. [26]


You generalize now. For some yes for some no. I would say as for today it is getting less and less attractive. Especially for working class Poles.

I am not sure many Poles would like to raise family in London where at least 1 stabbing a day seems like standard activity.

Life / Worst aspects of living in Poland? [82]


Sad but true. Another problem pregnancy- I live in UK ( now) and women work during their pregnancy as normal here. In Poland it is some sort of 'fashion' toget pregnant and get sign off by doctor for 9 months.

Language / How do Poles feel about foreigners learning their language? [105]


ha,ha....UK teachers teach proper English in USA you just speak post colonial twang.


O,Yes we know that you like to patronise people. The problem is that I have seen samples of you polish and it is not as astounding as you think but rather poor so picking on others is rather petty. TOO BIG FOR YOUR BOOTS

And where did I mention anywhere that I am religious? I just find putting off reading your immature, stupid posts full off hate to Poland - just one generalisation of country of 40 million people.

if you are real it is clearly something wrong with you and I would suggest some psychological treatment.

Life / My Last Link To Poland Died - Why Leaving Poland Was My Best Decision [249]


And what is your point? different law in Poland and England in relation to crossing roads so what? The same as different laws in USA and UK.

We know very well that in UK you can do what you want like raping British girls for years because police, social services were too busy to cover it. Stabbing on daily basis in London because police is too frightened to stop and search certain minority....Invading someone private land with caravans and dump rubbish there including antisocial behaviour as they 'can'.,

UK so petrified to upset certain groups that they can do what they want.....Is it this wonderful British freedom????

You sound properly deluded....and where did you live in Poland in sum slums? Oborniki Dolne outskirts? I believe that now embraced by very progressive , liberating, fully respecting women muslim culture from Bangladesh you fully fulfilled your dreams.

No these are 2 different things.

example

If you are abusive towards gay man on the street just because he is gay it is offence and should not be accepted.

if you say- my religion/conviction do not accept homosexual relations- it is your personal opinion and no one will punish you for it.

Life / My Last Link To Poland Died - Why Leaving Poland Was My Best Decision [249]

it depends how far someone went...it is difference between discussion, opinion and being offensive. It there was court case it must have been reason for it.

Life / My Last Link To Poland Died - Why Leaving Poland Was My Best Decision [249]


Prosecuted?- for what exactly ? discussion, different opinion? All these women on black marches....were not arrested

Life / My Last Link To Poland Died - Why Leaving Poland Was My Best Decision [249]


of course you can-you can have some people protesting against it but still can do it.....

Life / My Last Link To Poland Died - Why Leaving Poland Was My Best Decision [249]

Because even you just state facts ( without personal opinion) they will twist your words and will call you racist, xenophob...

Life / My Last Link To Poland Died - Why Leaving Poland Was My Best Decision [249]

@rozumiemnic

No-I did not say anything about killing. They should be chased away from someone's private property. Like rabid dogs. It is Bank Holidays so they invade someone land without any consequences...Is it ok for you ? .what would happen onTuesday? They will be moved out and all sh.....t left the owner would have to clean.

I wonder if something like this happens in any other country except UK???

Life / My Last Link To Poland Died - Why Leaving Poland Was My Best Decision [249]


People like exaggeration - I would not say that life in UK is so bad but if you find in one of these 'awkward' situation it is very frustrating. Just in Bullies seem to be winning in UK .

How would you feel if it was your company:

Just my first thought was about gun.But if you used it you would be investigated and prosecuted they would walk free and would claim from you compensation for stress and damages.

I don't know how it is in USA - In UK there is not really much freedom of speech-Everything is ..not political correct...always someone is offended....it is sometimes

like farce.
