Innovindil Posted 30 April 2017 Share Posted 30 April 2017 4 hours ago, Webbo said: They get done for it regularly as well. Why would they want to anyway when they're working for a fraction of what the native population will? This seems to be the point that is ridiculously brushed aside far too often. There's a Polish engineer at my workplace. Really nice guy and a hard worker, got no problems with him personally whatsoever. But, he's happy to work on minimum wage, he shares a 1 bedroom flat with a handful of other people and sends the vast majority of his wages back to his wife, mother and 2 kids, who are having a 5 bedroom house built. As soon as it's complete he'll return to his family. If he's happy to work for minimum wage, why on earth would a profit seeking employer not hire him? If I worked for minimum wage I'd struggle to afford a rabbit hutch, let alone a suitable home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovril Posted 30 April 2017 Share Posted 30 April 2017 Always a little sceptical of these stories. I doubt British minimum wage would be enough to live in the UK, look after 4 dependants back home and build a five bedroom house, even in Poland. If he's managing to do it then he's a smarter guy than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from my experience living in E Europe I think it would be incredibly difficult, but I then I'm shit at saving money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm not doubting you, Bovril. A few pounds sterling goes a long way in Zimbabwe, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wife also works back home to support the kids while his mother looks after them. He estimates he'll be here for around 5 years if that helps.
