I think you're forgetting the other bad things he mentioned - having to wait in line all day for the chance to get some bread, for example.

  That was in some special periods -- not all the time. He mentions a special circumstance in the article (don't remember which is it). But did you note that he went from Netherlands and applied for a job there? Obviously Poland was nowhere near as affluent as the Netherlands, but also obviously he didn't apply for a job in a place were waiting in line for bread was something that happened regularly everyday.
