We [Generation Y] have a lot of expectations these days from an employer. The companies also have a lot of expectations from us [Generation Y].

Here is an opportunity for you ! Find out more about both expectations at “Angajatori de Top” from PWC.

Find out more about the event here. Down at PricewaterhouseCoopers Seminars, workshop called “Generations at work”.

If you want even more, read this article I wrote about Generation Y [Romanian version].

my life is crazy these days , with a lot of things happening in a very short time.

I stoped for a  second and I read an e-mail in which I saw this interesting video about our lifes and about our right path in life.

the question I have is : Are we/Am I on the right track?

I’m frustrated. Why? Because of our supermarkets and how they use us in growing their profits by cheating us with the PRICE TAGS

Imagine: I’m in a supermarket in Bucharest at detergents/kitchen area. I want to buy two different kitchen sponges. One for dishes and one for general thinks [ in picture]. I look at the sponge, one is 1.6 lei and the other 3.5 lei/piece WRITTEN ON THE PRICE TAG.

The problem: OK , the sponge is cheap, I want to buy it !!!BUT I want only one, but the sponge are 6 pieces in a package . That means more than 3.5 lei . [ON THE PRICE TAG WAS 3.5 lei/ piece ].

I call an employee and I ask her: “Is this package of 6 pieces of sponges, 3.5 lei?”

Employee: Yes is 3.5 lei the package.

Me: Are you sure is not 1 piece of sponge 3.5 lei?

Employee: NO the package is 3.5 lei!

Ok that’s good. I’m going to pay, of course at payment desk a relaxed women with a huge line of customers. No problem let’s wait the line.I put the sponges for paying and the lady ask for 21 lei.

I was like wow, why that much?

the lady at the payment desk: is 3.5 lei/ piece and in the package there are 6.

Me: BUT You know……. I tell her the story….

The lady: Ok let me ask!

And she asks another guy , who ask another guy, meanwhile I’m embarrassed, because the line is getting longer and longer and everybody now knows about the 6 pieces of sponges.

after some time the answers comes : the sponge is 21 lei, and I can’t buy 1, I need to buy the package.

Being embarrassed by the long line and by the fact that the lady at the payment desk shared the story of the 6 sponges, I was forced to buy the sponge with 21 lei.

In conclusion they cheated by putting a WRONG PRICE TAG . So guys and girls be careful at the PRICE TAGS in the supermarkets.

I have a feeling that I’m not the only one with these kind of story.

FC RAPID!!!!

The Romanian [Emil Boc's] government is down. The only solution is to have a Saxon Transylvanian [ german origin ] prime-minister, Klaus Johannis the mayor of Sibiu.

It’s interesteing to see that the solutions for prime minister’s are coming from Transylvania, Emil Boc [ex-mayor in Cluj Napoca], potential prime-minister Klaus Johannis [ mayor in Sibiu ].

 A motion of censure against the Boc government was adopted by the Parliament on Tuesday, making Emil Boc’s team the first cabinet to fall because of such a motion in post-communist Romania. [hotnews.ro]

I also believe we need an independent prime minister and a technical government.

In December in Romania we will have presidential elections and I’m worrying that the majority of romanians will not go to vote.

I’m Romanian from Transylvania, and I learned Hungarian because I think is crucial for a healthy communication with Hungarians in Transylvania.

you have a short video[2 min] with Frunda Gyorgy’s  speech regarding learning Hungarian!

What do you think about this? If you would be Romanian in Transylvania would you learn Hungarian?

and the one that know Hungarian , here is a short funny movie about the Romanian Police talking in Hungarian.
