Are Poles workaholics?

If I work on Fridays, I'm home at 5 p.m.

Good. Being home at 5 am would be a torture.:):):)

Too early? You'd be just in time for Teleexpress.

I said AM. :):):)

I fell into the trap that probably all English learners fall into. Of course, I was thinking about 5 p.m. Sorry.

Poles although never colonized like the west, they are deep rooted traders and business people, they work smart in general

I don't know if this is entirely true. There are nations that are more enterprising.

Is Teleexpres still on? That was my favorite news from my youth.

Yes, Poland's economic success is the result of Poles working more than other nations. The German government, for example, now wants to extend Germans' working hours to improve the results of the German economy.

The German government is perhaps the stupidest collective entity in Europe made up of (mostly) high IQ people....

Stopping nuclear power was idiotic.

German migration policy is idiotic.

Germany thinking russia could be manipulated into acting like a normal country was idiotic.

Are there any broad German political agendas that aren't idiotic?

Germany was now about 20 years fully under leftist-green influence...(no matter which gov ruled and how it was called)....supported by a mainly leftist media.

= what you have now is the consequence! It's no longer a good working country....hence the rising Right!

The backlash will probably not be nice....

And those responsible will blame everyone but themselves....

Polish people in general are workaholics. They are perfect immigrants: low crime rate, high employment, hard working, average / low birthrate, willing to learn a new language and culture.

Nice backlash is for losers who were bribed and intimidated...

They are gladly welcome in every country... really? 🤔

It is becoming increasingly difficult to attract Poles to work in Germany.

@Alien
When Poland raises the wages every year, not based on inflation, why would people leave as their standard of living rises without having to leave home?

Soon the Germans will be coming to Poland to work as slave labor.

Let's be realistic. The Portuguese and Greeks will arrive first, and the Germans last.

O.k., lets.
With Germany's high energy prices and the lack of investment spending that might not be so true.
Add that to Germany's Muslim invasion that will take jobs and tax money to support them from the German working class too which will force the Germans to go to Poland to seek jobs.
And not so true with the Greeks as their economy growth is out pacing the euro area average.
German will be tightening their belts for sure and Poland will be their best bet to find work that pays enough to buy a schnitzel.

The Polish economy is growing rapidly, but the German economy is still 4.5 times larger than the Polish one. The lack of migrants and the failure to introduce the common Euro currency may have a negative impact on the Polish economy. Moreover, "Made in Poland" is not yet as good a trademark as Made in Germany.

Time will tell but the rate Poland is gaining ground, and Germany losing ground, it won't be long before the Germans will be begging Poland for jobs.
This won't be an easy task for the Germans to humble themselves after the way they have treated Poland.

Germany normalized relations with Poland. It recognized the Oder-Neisse border. The German government actively supported Poland's admission to NATO and the European Union. In the case of the EU, it did not hold a referendum, knowing that the majority of Germans would be against the admission of this "backward" country to the EU. Moreover, the Germans forced the opening of the labor market and borders to Poles. Current border controls do not change the fact that Poles can settle wherever they want in the EU. Is all this nothing?

Germany is a great place. Why don't you take a few minutes to get off your chest? Shout Sieg Heil a few times.

Those who would like to use this greeting (forbidden in Germany) are, fortunately, neither in Germany nor in Poland in power.

...and thankfully, would in all likelihood be ousted from the premises,
if necessary, by force!

You, as a good German, obey laws. You can still yell - SH.

I trust you're being sarcastic:-)

Rather sour.

Iron or you?
