“One needs to understand [the] assignment.”
A Polish developer has come under fire for expecting employees to agree to mandatory sauna sessions.
“Jacek started a conversation with me under a post about me looking for a job.
Suddenly, Jacek appeared offering me a job again.”
Spectrum Studio also said it would provide “plannings in sauna, free of charge” within this post.
This is something, Piorkowski said, he would not do.
“You had a lot of time to prove me wrong.
To write [a] scene in [a] sauna without being in sauna…
Instead, we are wasting time on social media,“Piorkowskireplied.
Piorkowski has now released a full statement regarding Spectrum Studio’s sauna mandate.
In a video shared on the studio’sLinkedInpage, he apologised to Wolna.
“I didn’t intend to embarrass, hurt, offend, or show disrespect towards Ms Wolna.
My choice of words was bad.
I didn’t state my intentions clearly.
“I wasn’t expecting that it would be received as pretentious and cause negative connotations.”
Piorkowski further spoke of how “passionate” he is about the sauna experience.
I believe that personal experience of a subject helps with understanding the sauna culture.”
He stated he has also started “consulting with an HR specialist regarding this case”.
“Once again, I’d like to apologise to Miss Aleksandra,” he concluded.
Wolna said she has accepted the apology.
