Life / Why can't Polish people just keep their word? [12]

Maybe you are right.

I m new here so I was just trying to make friends.

until this moment, I ve only met one Polish person who is reliable and I consider him my friend.

Only one!

But I ve met at least a hundred people personally already, not including colleagues at work.
colleagues at work are even worse.

So generally speaking.
Been not reliable is more like they dont care.
They dont care is from selfish.

In another way I should say they are the most selfish people I ever met.
But they are not selfish when comes to alcohol.
They are always happy to buy vodka shots for you.

This is the part I really dont understand.

How come people can act like not seflish at all when you are hanging out together.
But when you really need their help for something or some promises.
You ll never find them.

Its not the same..

Some times I get messages like.
" Hey, I m bored, can I come over to your place to have a beer?"
" Of course, no problem, I ll clean the place"

Later the person never shows up and doesnt even pick up your phone.
Few days later he even forgot about it.
Like it never happened.

Or someone promised to go to the doctor with you next morning because you dont speak Polish.
Next morning he ll never pick up the phone.

I dont understand how could this be common in Poland.

These are just examples

I ve been working in Poland for a year now.
The thing I cant stand the most is, Polish people never keep their promises.

You can have fun together, and you are like their best friend when you are drinking together.

But they never keep their words, doesnt matter he was drunk or not.
They promised you something, but when it happens, it totally depends at that moment he want to do it or not.
Promise it self is nothing.

I like to keep my promises, if I said I ll do something, I ll do it.
Then I just get ****** off and ****** off again and again.

I realized its very common in Polish standard, its not a big deal if the friend didnt keep the promise,
After breaking the promise many many times, they can still be good friend.

I dont understand this.

Work / Two job offers in Poland, which one should I take? [12]

thanks a lot guys.

I dont really care about the money much.
Actually I just want to go to more places and see more things.
I might stay and work in Poland for a while but sure not forever

The thing I want to know is. would this money be enough for a single guy like me to have a life there?
I mean I could share an apartment with someone else as long as I have my own room.
I can cook at home no problem.

The thing I care the most is. How much would it cost for a night to go out and have some beers in a cheap club or bar where students goes?And how much is a pack of cigarate? I do smoke. I hope its not that expensive like London.

Lets say I ll take the job in Lodz, I like the company more.

With 5000 PLZ maybe a little more, They did say there ll be some extra bonus as long as I do the job.
I did the the conculation. I ll get 3550PLZ. After the rent and everything lets say I ll have 2000PLZ per month for me on food and other things.

Would this be enough for me to have fun at least once per week?

Work / Two job offers in Poland, which one should I take? [12]

Thanks a lot for all the information.

4500PLZ salary after tax it will be around 3200PLZ?

And the rent will be 1400.. seems I wont have much money left for party.

I m a native Chinese speaker but I grow up in Africa when I was a kid. Studied and worked in Europe for more thank 5 years. So I speak good English too.

I m thinking of openning a private Chinese class in my free time. Do you think it will work? Would anyone be interested?
And if it works. how much should I charge for the lessons?

Many thanks

Work / Two job offers in Poland, which one should I take? [12]

Hi everyone.

So I got two job offers in Poland and I have to choose one.

One is in Poznan with 4500PLZ and other bonus like private health care and sport package.
Another in Lodz with 5000PLZ but without those, but they do promise raise in the future.

I know in Poland public health care is covered, but I would like to know how big is the difference from private ones. are the public hospitals enough?

And which city is more expensive? will this salary be enough for me to make a living?
I m single and I m not planning to save much money, I can cook at home.
But I really do like to party, and I love beers. I would like to go out once a week to meet new people and make friends.

I really need some more informations for the decision.

Many thanks.
