The phrase is a staple of 'Polish complaining' (narzekanie). It's a way to bond by acknowledging shared difficulties without being overly negative. In Polish offices, using this phrase can be a subtle way to ask for more resources or a deadline extension without being direct. Warsaw residents often use this for the city's constant road renovations (remonty), which have become a local meme for being eternal. Polish literature often explores themes of 'endless' labor, reflecting the country's history of struggle and rebuilding.
