Contexto cultural
The 'opijanie awansu' tradition is very strong. Even in modern offices, bringing a cake or ordering pizza for the team after a promotion is expected. In the 'Mordor' district (Warsaw's business hub), getting an 'awans' is often tied to 'targety' (targets) and 'KPI'. The language used is often 'Ponglish' (Polish-English mix). In older, state-run companies, 'awans' might still be viewed with suspicion as being based on 'znajomości' (connections) rather than merit. When a football team 'dostaje awans' to a higher league, it's a cause for city-wide celebration, often involving parades.
Use 'na' for titles
Always remember: 'awans na' + [Position]. Example: 'awans na dyrektora'.
Don't say 'mieć'
Avoid saying 'mam awans'. It sounds like you're holding a physical object. Use 'dostałem' or 'mam dostać'.
