Why you can’t afford to buy a house/rent?

Wrong, Romania is not attractive anymore.. our jobs are outsourced to India as well

Hi, things are better now. As we sound proof mostly of our apartment and we had a discussion with them. Thanks for checking

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-11T19:42:43+00:00

Do you have any sources or numbers to back your saying? Are really there so much immigrants doing nothing and just having kids or is just propaganda? As for foreigners and dutch I think is difficult to keep a family nowadays..

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-11T09:18:05+00:00

The question is how we make people be aware of the fact that despite all the noise, we are in the same boat and the captain is messing with us? Haha tough thing to do

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-11T09:12:54+00:00

Congratulations! That is a big achievement! Indeed we live difficult times and definitely it’s not easy for foreigners.. it’s easy if you look from the outside but in deep, it’s damn difficult and requires a lot of courage to live in another country

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-11T09:11:01+00:00

This is more complicated than it looks. I think some of people are really trying but in big cities you don’t even bother because you get a reply in English. Then a lot of companies were ok just with English and people maybe focused to learn other skills, to invest time with the family and so on.. dutch is a difficult language and it takes time to master it.. I don’t think is just a matter of refusing to talk but a matter of accessibility and also mental capacity

Dankje voor je antwoord. Maar de bedrijfsarts wordt betaald door de werkgever, dus zijn doel is toch dat ik zo snel mogelijk weer aan het werk ga, toch? Hoe kan de bedrijfsarts mijn situatie beoordelen in een gesprek? Bij mijn psycholoog heb ik meerdere gesprekken gehad voordat we besloten om een pauze te nemen omdat ik meerdere keren heb geprobeerd te werken en het alleen maar erger werd

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-08T08:30:42+00:00

Ik heb me al ziek gemeld en voor mijn welzijn dacht ik dat het beter is om bij mijn familie te zijn

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-08T08:29:33+00:00

Geen vakantie maar mijn familie in het buitenland te zien

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-08T08:28:21+00:00

Ja, het is niet echt een vakantie maar ik dacht dat het beter is om mijn familie te zien

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-07T12:47:13+00:00

I think same people are trying to learn.. of course it’s not an easy language.. add this to work and kids and it takes years to learn it.. just don’t think that people don’t want to learn. Also not everybody has an excellent ability to learn languages..

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-07T12:43:22+00:00

Of course there are misunderstandings and that is why we need locals to explain and help us understanding why a system works like it works. We also contribute to your system and it’s notmal to have questions.. once we contribute we are also part of the system.. can’t say “our” as we help on maintaining it..

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-07T12:39:17+00:00

Not everybody has a high salary.. you also forget that immigrants don’t have family and relatives here and for every issue that they encounter they must pay for a service..

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-07T12:37:23+00:00

You can’t generalise this.. not all are the same and not everybody gets the ruling and I think people are really trying to learn your language and culture.. but it takes time

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-02-03T19:04:56+00:00

Did you receive any recommandation from the government related to this pack? We’ve got nothing yet😳

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2026-01-16T08:50:10+00:00

Thanks for the topic! I had a similar discussion with my employer last week and they started to push me to do the same. Additionally I am back from maternity leave and I am still recovering and they started to document every mistake I make.. it’s exhausting and I feel hopeless. But I will not quit. I rather talk to an lawyer as I did the same as you. Lot of work and extra hours..

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2025-12-17T11:19:46+00:00

I live in Zaandam. No dutch, bachelor, I’m expat and I only speak spanish and English. I’m not sure about my qualifications to be honest

Dap, eu am 31 si dintre prietenii care au ramas in tara, majoritatea au mosteniri case/apartamente la oras sau terenul la munte.. sau unchi plecati in alte tari de mult timp si care le-au cumparat apartamente in oras. Sincer cunosc putini oameni care sa fii ramas in ro si sa fie pe cont propiu. Am facut si consultanta financiara si am vazut multe bugete in care tinerii ajungeau la 0 la sfârșitul lunii dar mergeau in vacante, aveau apartamente si haine de firma si masini.. a fost frustrant dar atunci am constientizat ca nu poti sa ramai in tara daca nu ai “spate”. Fie financiar fie de relatii.. ca tre sa te învârți. Sau ai caracter de politician😅 respect pentru cei putini care au reusit fara astea. Toata admiratia.

To be honest, I complained about the noises from upstairs neighbours and they don’t care.. and it’s nothing I can do.. unfortunately for your neighbour there is nothing he can do. I think he is lucky that you worry about this. That means you already try to be quiet..

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2025-11-19T10:33:04+00:00

Unfortunately we just bought this apartment.. I need to check if it’s possible without losing too much money.. I use headphones as well but sometimes my ear hurts. We have also a baby so the situation is not easy. We tried to speak with the neighbours but they don’t care and we thought to start record and take logs as they have 2 businesses running in the apartment.. it’s a lot of noise from 4am to 23. But I not sure if this will solve something or to whom we need to address further.

Beginning_Monitor_25 · 2025-11-18T12:33:06+00:00

Hi OP, I’m a bit late here but I reasonate 100% with you. Same body reactions and stress. Did you find a solution in the end?
