خلفية ثقافية
Latvians are generally modest. When someone says they have a 'jauns darbs', they might downplay it by saying 'I'm just trying it out' until the probation period is over. The 'pārbaudes laiks' (probation) is a big deal. It's common to wait until it's over before having a big celebration. Work-life balance is becoming more important in Latvia, especially in 'jauns darbs' in the tech sector. Treating colleagues to snacks on your first day or after your first month is a common way to integrate into a 'jauns kolektīvs' (new collective).
The 'Man ir' Rule
Always use 'Man ir' (To me is) to say 'I have' in Latvian. Never say 'Es turi'!
Gender Agreement
Remember 'darbs' is masculine. Don't use 'jauna'!
