When he found out that their younger colleagues were constantly getting raises, he persuaded her to also go and ask for a salary increase. – I have been working in the series “M jak miłość” for 24 years, from the first day to this day, and only once, seeing that the younger ones are raising their rates, my husband in the film says to me: “Will you come and talk to me about our salaries?” – she recalled. She added that she “wouldn’t have gone alone”, but a friend gave her courage. – And then, once every 24 years, we went together – she said.
