Polish bureaucracy: The Vogons of the east | The Economist
Here in the unluckier half of Europe, Poles are still battling with the excesses of state control established by communism. With unemployment at a five-year high, the government might be shy of cutting jobs. But the bigger problem is Poland's "red-tape lobby"—hundreds of thousands of low-level civil servants with a vested interest in keeping things the way they are.
Presumably to keep certain folk in employment, notary acts still require binding with specially coloured string, and an imprint from a special stamp, in special purple ink. Each piece of freelance work requires a written contract. Foreign investors, drawn in by good-news stories about the Polish economy, alternately laugh and weep when they discover what hoops they have to jump through to conduct business here.
One British expatriate recounts his efforts to organise the paperwork Polish officials required in connection with the death of a close relative. When he produced the wrong document in front of an official, he was screamed at for incompetence. Poles encounter this sort of treatment every day.
According to forsal.pl, a Polish business and legal website, under Donald Tusk's Civic Platform (PO) government Poland has seen a 13.8% increase in the number of bureaucrats—some 150,000 new posts—in four years. The site estimates that there are now around 1 million civil servants in Poland, with hundreds of thousands employed as freelancers. PO is supposed to be the party of the small state.

But you misunderstand Dodgy. Terrible idiot that he is (no offence intended, Dodgy), it so happens that he went to some trouble to advise a Polish friend of mine who was struggling in the employment market, and my friend was impressed, both by Dodgy's friendly and professional demeanour, and by his command of the spoken Polish language.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

Originally posted by speling bee View PostBut you and I both know, Dodgy, that this is not typical of more recent Polish immigrants. We just appear to have one here, motivated perhaps by his own difficulties in the work place and "issues" with our friends from the Indian sub-continent.
No wonder he has problems in the workplace.
