Editorial

In praise of first-timers

Where have you worked before? How many years did you study? What degrees and certificates do you have? Such questions are often asked at job interviews. Obviously, to check whether you have enough knowledge and experience to be of use to the company. But spending your entire life in one industry or doing a single job is no guarantee that you have mastered them. If that were the case, Warsaw’s taxi drivers would be the best drivers in the world – so sometimes you have to trust your intuition and go for a new kid with no experience who seems to know a lot and have aptitude.

Going down fast

After the slight whiff of optimism at the start of the summer, the beginning of the third quarter was a time of stock exchange sell-offs – both in developed and emerging markets.

Office standards

The elixir of youth

A centre of monumental progress

At the recent Expo Real fair, the latest mixed-use project involving the reconstruction of a historic building in Łódź was unveiled: Magazyn Bawełny is to form part the Manufaktura complex. Meanwhile, Off Piotrkowska has been operating in the former Ramisch cotton mill for several years. and now the former Monopol Wódczany distillery, reborn as the Monopolis centre, is taking in tenants, while Fuzja continues to grow on the site of the Scheibler factory. Who can afford to carry out these costly renovation projects – and do they actually pay off?

Going public

I spent a very pleasant World Car Free Day 2022 using the train, the bus, the metro, the tram, and then once again the metro, the bus and then... In the end I was defeated by the public transport in my district
