Well, I wish that I had taken the job at ET. . .
But I didn't - because I was in a big hurry. . . . 
I work at the Interlang Taksim branch (btw, Interlang is owned by ET).
For some reason Interland pays less. . .
Don't get me wrong, I took this job because I absolutely loved the lady I interviewed with. . .but had I known that students usually wait for a week or two after classes have started before they get their books I might have reconsidered. Also my school is very dirty and is currently inhabited by at least one rat (the *beep* has left his mark and its mark still remains today). The bathrooms have not been cleaned since I started working here a month and a half ago. Everytime I have been paid it has been at 7 p.m. (despite the fact that I am usually at school bright and early on pay day).
I am hoping that things come together soon - the Taksim branch is new.
We just got a new DOS and they are saying that more resource books are on the way
. . . did I mention that I don't work on the weekends!

Ms. Whitewhing does a great job in conning newbies with her ''i am a professional teacher'' spiel but that is all it is. She carried on conning everyone all through the fiasco when it was bought by the present owners and the teachers got shafted. Did she tell you about that?
Is the rat Turkish, Canadian or English? |

| My room mate works PT for Oxford House College. Due to the current shake up in management, it looks as though the teachers will not be recieving April's paycheck. OH says the old manager will pay them, the manager says OH will pay them. In the end, the teachers expect to be left out in the cold. |
Don't say I didn't warn you. I started a thread about this place months ago.
What do you mean by shake up? I take it it Mehmet is still running the show. |

Mehmet's out, Abdulkadir is in, Abdulkadir is out and Mustafa is in.
Same old same old Turkey TEFL managers/owners who act and appear as if they are made from the same mould. |

| Unfortunately, things don't seem to be changing for the good in Istanbul. "More" resource books have been on the way since time immemorial, and teachers don't seem to finish their contracts anymore - and not because they're fired. |
