Common for incompetent co-ordinators. Needs transporting east for a spot of re-education.

Sorry that happened to you. Bad luck there.

The class required registration (which I don't have access to), so I'm not sure why I couldn't get a follow-up e-mail. Oh well. They were a great bunch of people but clearly would have zzzz'ed out through an extensive alphabet review. I'll think twice about taking on further contracts after this one.

So, they were a group of intermediate L1 Spanish. Obviously, my prepared lesson was useless and it all had to be done on the fly. Is this common?

I was always feeling feel left out from the rest of you because I had not yet dealt with incompetent administration.

Now, I BELONG! Laughing

I suspect they have indulged in a bit of bait-and-switch with you. Possibly gave the Chinese and Ukrainians to some other poor would-be employee.

Definitely an outfit to avoid!!
