With the inauguration of the government of Donald Tusk, the “personnel carousel” began at the companies of the Ministry of Finance, and as a result, the issue of the income of the members of the boards of directors of the largest state-owned enterprises became a hot topic. The media has repeatedly attacked the United Right government over so-called “byzantine” and “luxury” salaries in companies. As the former Minister of State Assets notes, it now appears that Tusk’s nominees will work… for pennies. “The logic of smiling Poland” – noted Jacek Sasin.
‘Cosmic’ income during the PiS government. And for PO?
“Business Insider” published an article about the revenues of state-owned enterprises. As reported, Orlen President Daniel Obajtek earned PLN 1,398,000 in 2022, plus “potential prime ministers”. In turn, the members of the board of directors earned an average of PLN 1,145,000 per year. PLN, plus “bonuses that can amount to almost the same amount as the reward itself.”
In turn, the president of PKO BP would earn on average about PLN 85,000 per month. PLN, and members of the board of directors PLN 89.5 thousand. PLN per month. There are also bonuses. The president of PGE earned, including benefits, an average of PLN 100,000 per month. PLN – just like the other members of the board of directors. “Business Insider” pointed out that these amounts “are astronomical,” but “it is necessary to take into account the fact of the enormous responsibility of several people who head companies of strategic importance for the country, which employ thousands of people employ, convert and invest. billions of zloty.”
The profits of state-owned companies were compared with those of the directors of private companies and banks. The president of Santander earned on average about 262,000 PLN per month. PLN and mBank 300 thousand. zloty. The head of Orange received an average of PLN 475,000 in his account every month, and the head of Polenergia could count on PLN 2.9 million for a year’s work.
It can be said that the new appointees of the government of Donald Tusk and Borys Budka, responsible for state assets, will enter a minefield. Any careless step will lead to them being ‘condemned’ from the chair of the President or Vice President. And all this often for money that is less than what can be earned in comparable private companies

Sasin: “The logic of smiling Poland”
Jacek Sasin, former minister of state assets, commented on the issue. He recalled that the pay of heads of state-owned enterprises was described as “byzantine” during the PiS government.
Under PiS, these salaries in state-owned enterprises were ‘rich’, ‘Byzantine’, ‘unimaginable’. Now the same salaries for future PO nominees are completely uncompetitive, cents and too low. Stage wisdom. Logic of smiling Poland!
– Sasin emphasized.
Waldemar Buda, former Minister of Development, also spoke, adding that positions in companies suddenly became low-paying offers after October 15.
You won’t read anything better today. Editor Damian Słomski neatly proved that on October 15, those previously called PiS sinecures in state-owned enterprises received poorly paid, dubious job offers
– wrote Buda.
