Summary/Abstract: Józef:" I have cheated my company honestly.The problem is that they told the truth. They chose truth instead of loyalty to their company. We sat then in a hotel and and talked about it. Well and we decided that... we should cheat our company....Why should people lose their job?" Bogumiła: " I sanctioned the arrangement.For instance, when someone of my friends asked me ironically or suspiciously: “Listen, among us, what exactly is your job in that porn mag for underprivileged?” I laughed, tried to take it as a joke, but somewhere inside I felt some distaste and shame. After a while, we stopped editing that erotic magazine. Uff! Let others feel ashamed." Krzysztof: "At work and without work. Usually, I already knew before the competition, who is to win it. At first, I couldn’t believe these revelations, but when I heard the tenth time that I am „too good” for the job and the competition had been won by the inofficial favourite, I was convinced that there is no use trying to fight against windmills." Magda: "I have been the boss. „I play piano in a brothel” – told me one of the bosses of a similar company. People sell and enjoy themselves, buy someone’s commitment, and we look after it that everybody is happy and business is going fine, just as the owner expects." Piotr: " My jobs in the Third Republic of Poland. He offered me a job in the „central” but under the condition that I quit my job at the branch. I filed the resignation, but when I came back to Warsaw, it turned out that the Foreign Office had no job for me. " Marcin: "Should one be a slimer or a prophet? There is something like a obligatory award, for instance a journey during the weekend to a nice resort. Is there a possibilty to buy an additional ticket to spend this time with one’s spouce? No, because the wife does not belong to the company. In that case, could one decline such an award? Neither that: this is not acceptable."
