I think we can assure you that you won't be farmed out like your Korea job. That was quite amazing... no wonder you aren't fazed by what is written here.

k guys...
So a few years ago I signed a contract to work for an academy. I had some idea that I may be required to work outside of the academy. What ended up happening was that I spent most of my time being farmed off to whoever would pay the most for me. And at all hours (no block shifts and not even split shifts which would have been nice in comparison... the company made me get to all these places myself as well)

I nearly got sucked into one of these deals in the land of sparkles once. A contract I was presented with stated somewhere that I could be expected to do the very thing you describe. I asked for that clause to be removed. Hogwart wouldn't budge, so I did. I skee-daddled on to some other job. A job that didn't have me playing human pinball.
It's either in the contract, in the contract, in the contract, or in the contract. It's always going to be one of those four. If it's not one, it's another. Always. If it isn't, make sure it is. |

| Mine was in Arabic and English- but then I work for a reputable employer inthe public sector, not for Abdullah's Ripoff English Academy. |

Allow me to play Devil's advocate:
Abdullah does a service for society. He keeps people in jobs, albeit short-term, plus he keeps the recruiters in business. |
