Give a Brit a shovel and he will dig harder than anyone whether he has a degree or not. Give them a management job they will only be interested in their job title, size of office and shovelling bureaucracy. Similarly they won't cope with the demands of customers unless they are told exactly what to do.If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.Comment

Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostHere 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.
