Cripes ! since you put it like that. I didnt know things were that bad with him. Listen, what do you think about us getting the local Psychiatic unit from JUbail Int'l Hospital go round and give him a thorough going over ?

then, if he's found wanting, we can just let Sharia law take its course. That seems fair enough. What do you think ?

One thing you have to remember is that the MD does not own the place, and thus does not have the authority to make financial decisions.

Another point to bear in mind when working for any language school is that you are going to be working for a client, and thus have two bosses, so even if you please one you may well fall foul of the other. And Saudi companies are notorious for trying to squeeze what they can from the language school, who then try and squeeze it from the instructors.

That said, there are worse places to work.

Good grief Realt I think you have hit the problem with the Englishman right on the head, a very polarized personality indeed!
