They can’t pay me as little as I can work!*

This saying is really popular in Bulgaria and especially among the west region of the country. But why?

Is there a truth in it or it’s just another way of us saying we are special? According to an article I read recently in one of your news websites, we are among the average of the quantity of hours actually worked during the day – 6 out of 8. This may seem both low and high depending on the point of view. Then we have to put the quality of the work in the equation, and again we are in the middle of the charts (i’m not using the amount of output generated, but more generalized assumption).

So, we are not that bad, eh?
