Contexto cultural

It is common to bring 'vaišės' (treats/snacks) to the office during your first week or after your probationary period to introduce yourself to the 'kolektyvas'. The 'bandomasis laikotarpis' (probationary period) is legally mandated to be no longer than 3 months. People often wait until this is over before feeling fully secure in their 'naujas darbas'. Work-life balance is increasingly important in Lithuania, especially in the private sector. A 'naujas darbas' is often evaluated by whether it allows for 'nuotolinis darbas' (remote work). In traditional rural settings, 'darbas' was synonymous with survival. Today, in cities like Vilnius, it is synonymous with 'karjera' (career).
