If you are desperate to return here, there are thousands of jobs available. This issue with EFL in Japan (as I see it) is the lack of secure high-paid EFL jobs, not low paid ones. If you are a Native English speaker with a Bachelor degree (in something) from one of the Big 4 English speaking nations, you shouldn't have any problems at all with a bit of effort! Keep your chin up, chap!

How to get along with your managers? This is more difficult. But in my years here (beginning in the mid-80s) I have found that if you dress the part, be non-threatening (smaller stature or puppy dog eyes help) you can do it. Most importantly, simpy do your job in a professional manner. It's quite easy, if you are willing to be humble and agreeable for the slave wages they pay.

This is the advice I have submitted to the original contributor. He can follow it, take part of it, or ignore it. But it is honest advice. I think is situation is not as bad as he thinks. I also don't consider him "racist", "full of himself", or "arrogant" based on his request for help on this forum.

Mr. H, my advice to you is to seek help.

PaulH from Kyoto, the university teacher. I haven't given out any information that you haven't voluntarily given out here before. It's not like I'm informing the world you are 5' tall or anything like that!

The world can now see what you are all about and make their own opinions. This thread has been useful.

Another 3 year contract expired?

I know I wouldn't hire you or take advice from you after reading your comments on this thread.

Best of luck to the original poster on this thread. You CAN get back to Japan and you can make a few changes that will allow you to have a better experience during this second chance. Good luck!
