Stay away from this place. You will get shafted in any way they can, even violating the contract. This goes way beyond the normal BS.

Oh please. Not one detail. How can you expect anyone to take this claim seriously? Just disgruntled? And has anyone ever heard of "gruntled?"

You lack faith in the essential goodness of the white man's culture.

I mean, this guy said they went beyond the normal bull, to like, another level of bull; heifer maybe, I don't know. It sounds serious man.

It's a nice gesture to warn others, but as others have said details need to be provided. How did they shaft you?

Just saying that McDonald's tastes like garbage is an opinion. To others, it's a feast fit for kings.

Friends, country men, fellow professionals hear my words and mark them well.
Do you actually think that the powers that be within your school do not know about Dave's ESL Cafe? I have personally seen my FAO searching Dave's. The Chinese people are not dumb, they may act that way and I will tell you why shortly, they are sneaky, underhanded and they will get you any way they can, if they choose to.
One of the defining aspects of a communist state is censorship and control. Since foreigners cannot be controlled as easily as the general populace in China, they use other tactics to achieve the same result, these being mostly, but not limited to misdirection, denial, and counter posting. Think about it for a minute, and then have a look at the posts on Dave's. You will see the misdirection, changing the subject to attack the poster. You will see the counter posting, where they say the place is great, come work here, best time of my life. All of you have personally heard the denial and apologizing right to your faces.
Why do I not want to give more information? I shouldn't have to. Who knows why it is they are asking in the first place, to misdirect, to properly counter post, most likely.
Do not be naive; take the word of a fellow countryman, and professional for what it is, and at face value. Then decide for yourself, whether you want to work there or not.

Do you actually think that we are so naive?

Especially when you consider that many of the schools and agents use Dave's to advertise.

Apparently so, you all seem to lack the subtlety needed to know what is and is not genuine. Just asking the questions you have, say that. Don't take it personally Mike, just keep your eyes open and your head down.

My lack of subtlety is the first thing people notice about me.
