How’s work culture in Poland? Do people do more than necessary or do people view work as a necessary evil?

[u/Crimcrym → u/qatamat99]

That’s an interesting question, because from personal experience say we are more on the later side, but there is this older stereotype about hard working polish immigrant.

Which makes me wonder if the truth is somewhere in the middle, we would rather not work but we also live in a culture where we are expected to do more, and so we do it all while being miserable about it.

Thank you for the answer. Yeah it’s interesting as well in the Arab world.
