This article aims to answer the question of the biographical meaning of the pandemic in the experiences of so-called “essential workers” who performed their duties in the first line of struggle with the consequences of the COVID-19 health crisis. The analysis of workers’ experiences helps us contribute to the ongoing debates on the role of macro-level events in autobiographical storytelling and the discussion on biographical turning points in sociology. The empirical analysis is based on a collection of more than 80 biographical narrative interviews in healthcare, social care, education, and logistics, from which we selected two stories of the pivotal significance of the pandemic crisis for biographical change for analysis. Biographical analysis makes it possible to describe which conditions are conducive to the inclusion of the pandemic in the main biographical story as a turning point.

W artykule skupiam się na próbie rekonstrukcji klasowej pozycji przedstawiciela klasy średniej – jego biograficznej drogi oraz napięć wynikających z zajmowania określonego miejsca w strukturze społecznej. Tę swoistą analizę wspieram ujęciem badawczym wywodzącym się z tradycji metody biograficznej, a w szczególności tradycji szkoły analizy autobiograficznych wywiadów narracyjnych Fritza Schützego. Główna argumentacja skupia się na pokazaniu zalet metody biograficznej w analizowaniu problematyki klas społecznych.

The main focus of the article lies in describing the class position of an individual from the Polish middle class, his biographical path, and tensions connected with his actual place in social structure. Background of the analysis is rooted in Fritz Schütze’s methodology of autobiographical narrative interview. One of the main goals is to show the advantages of using biographical methodology in analysing class structure.
