Millions of Poles left the country in search of better wages and more opportunities elsewhere after Poland joined the EU. But now a major effort is underway to bring many of them back home.
The article touches an important issue, but it's a shame it only shows one side of the story. I'm a Pole studying in the Scotland and from my work experience I can say the Scots are rather keen on sharing responsibility in workplace (maybe the English are different;-). The reason why some Eastern-Europeans come back frustrated having failed in the UK is not (just) because the locals 'look down' on them but because they are often dishonest about their own skills or language - I mean: who would make a manager a guy whose English is as crap as this last one in the interview? Now, please imagine a guy who barely speaks Polish or Russian comes to Warsaw/Moscow - do you think his/hers position would be any better? In my oppinion, if life for newcomers isn't easy anywhere, in Britain it surely is the easiest it can be.
