I just wish to God that anyone thinking about working here stay away from HESS. "The whole company is one great monster." I don't think they should be allowed to advertise on 'Dave's'. They should be put on 'The Watch Dog' of ESL teaching back home. That is, Western countries where we all come from.

The 'Job Information Journal' does no good. We need a 'Watch Dog Group.' It's our only fighting chance.

StayingPower,

I'm not trying to insult you in this post, so try not to be offended...

I thought you had moved on from this? I mean we understand that you had a bad experience with HESS, but really do we need to see a new post every few days re-hashing the subject? I had a good friend of mine fired from a school too, and he went out pounded the pavement and found another great job in less than a week. I mean comon, this constant HESS hating is getting silly, and boring to read.

I agree with BigWally [edit], and honestly, as an incoming teacher (for Hess), the OP's constant Hess-bashing is not serving so much to demoralize me but to make me want to prove him wrong.

Stayingpower,

Honestly, enough is enough. Hess is just one company of many here. They didn't work out for you? Just walk down the street and get a new one.. There's tons of work around and, if you don't have a job lined up yet, it's starting to reflect poorly on you. I recently returned after leaving for a while and had two jobs within days (in addititon, my phone wouldn't stop ringing and my email inbox was full of offers). I realise I likely have a lot more experience locally as well as local knowledge to my credit but, honestly, with any amount of effort, even a newbie can be working fairly quickly.

From what I can glean, Hess released you well within the probationary period. I seriously don't see any law breaking going on at all. In my country of origin, companies can release new hires without severence or notice within a certain time period after hiring. It's not really different than what happened here. Hess won't be a place you'll recommend to your friends--ok-- but all these threads on the same issue are getting to be too much. Move on already.
