EG,

I believe I already apologized if I wasn't clear in my orginal post. This really is a no brainer, what someone does with their life is their business. If it's not common knowledge by now then I really don't know what to tell ya. I think a lot of other people here got what I was saying.

If the job decides to cut me short then that's life. I still fail to see what this has to do with anyone here. If I quit this job, does that mean you or the gimp will lose yours? I understand that you lost a teacher but if you can't expect everything in life to go your way. If you don't want it to ever happen to you then I suggest a change in some other field.

Steppendork,

"Hmm, you "don't need approval" from anyone but you do appreciate all the advice and suggestions from folks who condemn your employer of two years without knowing why you condemn him?"

Still reading from the gospel according to Steppen are ya? I guess it doesn't have all the answers. Where did anyone on this board condemn my employer. Even in my original post, I never mentioned any mistreatment from them. It wasn't till another poster mentioned that if I had a legit beef with my school then it would be ok break the contract. I explained that I did have problems with the school but those weren't of any real concern and the issue at hand was what the process of leaving was. Check the title of the post, gimp. It doesn't say, "FT has problem with his school wants to know if it's ok to leave". But then, you didn't read that far did you?

"No one said a thing about what you should give this community!"

You told me to do everyone a favor by sticking with the school contract. What's the deal now?

"you failed to humour us"

Who is this "us" you're talking about? From what I've read people have been trashing you more than me. Get a life, get a clue!

"they will certainly agree with me! NOt with you, of course, but that is to be expected!"

If you want to start a fight, see to it to the end. If you don't have the balls then STFU! What exactly am I supposed to do? Sit there while you spit poison at me? Not where I'm from. YOU'RE the one that likes to start sh*t so expect to get back what you give and quit whining that someone is actually fighting back. YOU'RE that decided to step into this so accept the fact that you're going to get that same poison thrown right back at you. These "anger management problems" are so friggan weak. That's so high school and a sign that you really can't come up with solid arguements.

"no one is condeming you"

Oh, really? So, what I read from you're post is that you're just trying to be nice to me, is it? Look here, retard. I don't need someone to hit me over the head with a hammer before I realize they have a problem with me. Still trying to paint yourself as an angel and back down? Pfft, wimp!

"you wanted us to believe you had a "once in a lifetime chance" of furthering your "career" in China of all places"

That's right, you know everything about me and my intentions just from reading 2 or 3 posts. You're a bigger idiot than I thought. Again, where's the proof that I wanted your approval, retard? You sound like a broken record saying the same crap over again thinking it'll stick. Sigh...so naive.

"BUt your situation sounded so simple it didn't really need "advice" from us, did it?"

You don't know crap about this place. Anyone who's been here for any reasonable amount of time will know that things are never as simple as it seems. Yet, I'm sure you're going to tell me you already knew that, aren't ya, gimp?

Just explain the situation to your employer, turn in your resignation, stating your desire for a mutually satisfactory resolution, then work out the best deal you can.

If you've been with them over two years, you probably already have a decent relationship; once they realize you are serious, they should play ball.

The easier you make it for them, the better off you'll be - helping find a replacement, as others have suggested, would really go a long way.

Sure, employers are disappointed when an employee leaves for a better opportunity, but that is a far cry from doing a midnight run. As long as you are forthright and do your utmost to mitigate the employer's loss, it should be O.K.

Good Luck.
