Working nonsense

It's funny that the very day I published the post about cost and quality of medical services along the coast, I read the news about workers from Nepal and Sri Lanka running away from their employers, on this same coast.

Yes, you read that right: Nepal and Sri Lanka. And more - Indonesia and Bangladesh, India too.
Some time ago I wrote about the strange, in my opinion, agreement on labor migration that the Bulgarian government went to conclude with Vietnam. It is strange to me, because the government does not care about providing employment to the local Bulgarian population, that they are paid in a humane way, respecting their human rights, as well as observing the law when appointing them.
Instead they play their political games and ensure the importation of foreigners from third countries, outside the EU, who take the places of the locals.

Oh yes, I know that this topic is relevant in all countries - the topic with emigrants and guest workers, as well as the disagreement of the local population. But here the case is different from all other cases in all other countries. Maybe. Because it bears the Bulgarian stamp. And this print is very specific.

In the first place is the disinterest and lack of care of the state and all its institutions, as I said, to the life and well-being of the local population. Perhaps this is why the wave of disapproval of aid for Ukrainian refugees was so great at the local level. Not only because Bulgarians are generally supporters of Russia. But because they see how the state gives foreigners money that it never gave for them - it found hotels for them, housing and food, some of them even got a job, while the local population couldn't find one.
Then comes the sense of deception. Wherever Bulgarians are involved, the possibility of fraud is very high. This is the conclusion of my experience in so many fields, so many years of life, and here and there, in different cities, as well as abroad. Abroad, Bulgarians usually pass each other and are afraid to greet each other. And there is a reason for that.

Although I know the Bulgarians very well, I, for example, still really want to address one of them. I would certainly feel more relaxed if I turned to a Bulgarian or a Bulgarian company or some agency for help in finding a job abroad.

But the probability of being scammed, having my money taken and not getting any service is very high, almost 100 percent, seems even higher than before.
In the past, the intermediary agencies for finding a job - in the country and abroad, for a very long time took money not only from employers, but also from job seekers, which was actually illegal. Nowadays, providing work abroad, they do another thing - they recruit workers, giving them only a part of their real wages, the rest is collected from them. This is what all the fraudsters do who got hold of some positions and connections abroad, providing the West with low-paid, in most cases, slaves.

I have heard that in some countries they even take the identity documents of the workers, give them accommodation and then tell them that they cannot pay the accommodation and all the expenses that have been incurred for them and they are forever in debt to their employers and never can get out of the scheme.
Is it surprising, then, that the notice period for leaving a company inside the country is often 3 months, which is yet another, now completely legal, scheme for the enslavement of workers?

But what happens with those who come to Bulgaria from third countries?
In fact, whoever is not involved does not know what is going on with these people, or at all, with this whole dubious scheme. I've read in many places that employers get paid large sums of money for hiring such people, who are apparently under the agreement between the states.
Because if this is not the case, then there is no logic at all for these people to be employed.
In most cases it's people who don't even have qualifications for anything, those without any experience, they also don't speak the language, which is one of the many barriers. Well, think about the mentality and culture, which are completely unknown to our country, because these people come from very, very far, from another continent, from another part of the world.

But let's leave the distance. Imagine who would hire people with no experience and qualifications, people who don't speak your language and you can't get along with them? This could be the mystery of the decade for Bulgaria, if anyone even thought about what was going on. Oh yes, people are commenting, getting outraged. Why not, I also wanted to work on the coast, as I told you, before I found out what the living and working conditions were like there.
But it's not just that. Not only these conditions, the pay, etc. There are many unemployed people here (I am one of them), there are all kinds, educated and not, there are many unemployed Roma, they are uneducated, but at least they speak the language, they can be hired, I don't think they will have any complaints about the conditions. But that doesn't happen.
For working in the hotels on the sea, things are more or less justified because they have available places to sleep as well as food to offer these foreign workers, but employers are already hiring such people from other parts of the country where they have to provide accommodation. So even if they pay them minimum wage with minimum insurance, the costs will still be more than if they hire local people.

Bulgarians are to blame for everything, they said once on television, reproachfully. Because they no longer agree to work for minimum wage. Therefore, employers are now forced to import people without any qualifications and skills, just to get someone to work for them.
However, after a while, these foreign workers disappear. Even they, people who came from low standard of living countries, unemployed and people with no skills, don't like it here lol.

What is really going on and in what channels of transfer of unskilled labor from distant Asia to Western Europe the local employers are involved, maybe one day it will be revealed by an investigative journalist, because things continue to be so absurd, even ridiculous. And I'm not even looking for a job in this ridiculous and absurd country anymore.

	Soul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.

Personally, I am a sensitive soul with a strong sense of justice.
Traveling and photography are my greatest passions.
Sounds trivial to you?
No, it's not trivial. Because I still love to travel to not so famous destinations.🗺️
Of course, the current situation does not allow me to do this, but I still find a way to satisfy my hunger for knowledge, new places, beauty and art.
Sometimes you can find the most amazing things even in the backyard of your house.😊🧐🧭|
