“…Gdy tylko jednak jego sytuacja materialna polepsza się, wraca do ojczyzny (zob. Kaźmierska, Piotrowski, Waniek 2012;Burski, Waniek 2020). 16 Jak pokaże historia życia Holenderki Katrien (rozdział 5), nie musi się to wiązać z powrotem na określone miejsce w społeczeństwie, ale -w wyniku splotu pewnych okoliczności życiowych -przynieść także inne biograficzne konsekwencje.…”

“…Few qualitative studies described, for example, a narrow category of managers, but did not cover broadly understood occupational categories (cf. Kaźmierska, Piotrowski, Waniek 2012). Meanwhile, corporate labor standards are no longer characteristic for narrowly understood international corporations, but penetrate the entire institutional field.…”

The paper presents findings of a research project aimed at a reconstruction of the dynamics of biographical experiences of some of those categories of the Polish society’s members whose educational and professional careers have been shaped by the systemic transformation after 1989. The text is an attempt to de-lineate analytical guidelines for grasping how some components of three types of social order, conceived in terms of premodernity, modernity and postmodernity, interpenetrating each other in the contemporary life of the society, impact its members’ biographical experiences on the level of work, social ties and identity.

“…They were providing clear career ladders, high salaries and a system of bonuses, as well as possibilities of having international experience. It is not surprising then that some of the people (young university graduates, first of all) entering such organisations were becoming enchanted or even seduced by the corporate world (Kaźmierska, Piotrowski, and Waniek 2012).…”

The neoliberal order, introduced in Poland in the course of post-socialist transformation, constituted a context of action, as well as a repertoire of rules and practices people becoming corporate managers had to learn to cope with. As some took it for granted as ‘the only’ way of joining the economies of the idealised ‘West’, and through their daily practices of efficiency and profit-maximisation, they were actually doing the neoliberalism; others, maintaining the distance towards the new world of ‘freedom and opportunity’ managed to develop a more critical stand. These were not actively doing neoliberalism, but merely making do with it, taking it strategically or even instrumentally. In the paper, the role of biographical work and biographical knowledge is analysed in the process of distancing, which enables monitoring and negotiations of the relations between the acting self and the neoliberal context of action.
