Dlaczego odszedłem z Eko-Okien? Nowa praca i codziennie w domu

Why He Left Long-Distance Trucking

The creator explains why he left long-distance trucking at Eko-Okna and moved to local delivery work in Kraków. After years of driving abroad, he felt burned out by border delays, traffic, the difficulty of finding parking in Germany, and the time spent away from home. He wanted a more local routine and more time for life outside work.

Sick Leave and Dispute With His Employer

During a period of sick leave (L4), his doctor recommended rest, walks, and spending time with family and friends. He says he followed that advice, but his employer questioned whether he was using the leave properly and temporarily withheld part of his pay.

After he sent an explanation and the doctor’s recommendations to ZUS, the agency found no reason to suspend his benefit, and the money was returned. The dispute contributed to his decision to quit.

Considering Bus-Driving Work

He considered driving buses for Mobilis/MZK in Kraków. He says the offer discussed was 4,700 zł net for 160 hours, with no clear arrangements for overtime. By the time MZK contacted him again, he had already found a local delivery job.

His Current Delivery Job

His current job involves deliveries to Biedronka stores. He has worked there for less than a month, so he plans to track his hours, kilometres, and deliveries for another month before giving a fuller assessment.

• His shifts vary, from about 6.5 hours to as long as 11 hours. He gives one example of a five-hour shift.
• He receives a schedule for the full month, including days off and afternoon or night shifts.
• He says his pay is deposited in full into his bank account, unlike arrangements he says may exist with other subcontractors.
• The pallet trucks he has used are electric and operated with buttons rather than pulled manually.
• Some parts of the work remain difficult. He describes reversing in darkness and rain and repeatedly getting out of the truck to check.

He appreciates being home after work, having time to relax and play The Witcher, and being able to spend time with family. He may consider other local work, but says he would not return to driving abroad unless the pay were substantially better.

He says local work could bring in more than 8,000 zł in some months, and that colleagues report higher figures. However, he has not worked long enough to judge his own average.

Plans for the Channel

He expects to stop posting new videos on this channel, though the existing videos will remain. He plans to share more about the new job on OGRomny VLOG after gaining more experience. Viewers interested in unloading footage can visit his friend’s channel, “Mysio w podróży” (the name may be imperfectly captured in the subtitles).
