i was working legally. I even kept unpaid office hours. i did some english corners for free. The FAO at the Shenzhen institute of information technology doesn't keep their word. You'll be lied to and cheated.
I'm short RMB2000.
What is all this deconstruction stuff? My intentions are pure, only to warn: work there and get ripped off.

Yes, we all believe you 223%! Your intentions are as pure as black ink on a raven-black night!
Forge your 2000 and get even!

ND, would you mind telling me, what plan do you have to get your claimed RMB2,000 back?

Upon what grounds could you base any such plan to get that money back?

Would you recommend now, that I take up employment at the institute in question?

That has been achieved, but I think what the readers are looking for is a detailed account so as not to fall into a similar trap and not as Roger says "to prove your justified in reporting this". I mean who really cares if the poster is justified or not. This is merely a board of readership and not one of review of eligibility of poster sympathy.

Try explaining the circumstance so that others can avoid this kind of perceived fraud.

all one can do is avoid any rip-off joints. The reason the taiwanese place such a big emphasis on relationships is to avoid getting clipped by unknown.
any lawyer in hong kong would advise me to just forget it. here i'm trying to warn others off and look at the spectacle it's become. good luck, good bye and good riddance. go work there and get cornholed. don't say i didn't warn you

well frank - you are lucky in nanjing. I was offered a position there last january and they offered me origanally less than 4000 and when i laughed she offered me 4200 and said this was average for here. needless to say that did not get a positive response either.

Not true, old friend. I have worked many a "Ripoff Joint" with success because I knew the method of "ze ripoff". (spoken in the accent of a French international jewel thief)
Again to inform the method of operation that a culprit school has to offend the FTs with would be a great help.

Mr. Radd we are stressing relationships, yours and this boards and this is a golden opportunity to really help other FTs.

At this time your have warned us of little, except a little prison love, again I would offer that this is a time of unity and not to react as if got gang raped by the FAO.

NorbertRadd, please answer one simple question: "What did your contract say: 6000 RMB or 8000 RMB?". Well?
