Is 6,000 PLN Enough? Former Corporate Employee Sparks Debate on Salaries and Work-Life Balance

A recent podcast episode from "dusznø podcast" has sparked discussion after a speaker revealed her past corporate salary of 6,000 Polish Zloty (PLN) per month, stating it was insufficient for a comfortable life. The speaker elaborated that after covering essential expenses such as rent, therapy, food, and various bills, little to nothing was left. She emphasized that the actual time commitment to a corporate role extends far beyond the standard eight hours, accounting for commuting and the necessary time to recover from work. "It's not just 8 hours a day, because I have to get up, prepare for work, commute, and then I have to come home and rest after work," she stated. The speaker questioned the value of such a salary, suggesting a significantly higher income, potentially 20,000 to 40,000 PLN, would be necessary for her to consider returning to a corporate environment. The comments section of the video reflects a broader sentiment, with many users sharing similar experiences of low wages in corporate settings and the high cost of living, particularly in cities like Warsaw.
