Saw this on eslworldwide. Are we English teachers slaves? What is this guy trying to say?

Damn, we've missed teh deadline. Didn't you notice the rate of pay there?
CNY 7000000 Hourly is like, about half a million quid. I'd happily do two hours work there. Set me up for life it would.

If you want the job, contact the company T.W.A.T. If that's not a joke, I don't know what is.

Shocked OOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKK.

I agree with the previous posters. This has to be a joke on Mr. Tom�s part. So the question becomes, Is Mr. Tom a teacher with a bitter experience in his past ( which accounts for perhaps 80 percent of the teachers I!ve met in Asia ) or is he a director blessed by a sense of humour but unblessed by a clue. Question

Something to ponder on our journey through life.

Well how about this:
http://www.eslworldwide.com/search/Job_Detail.asp?pz=6674

work for the princely sum of .. 30c a year!

Why you could buy two whole caviar eggs for that!
However, the job description is rather complex, not sure if I could manage that ....

How come they only want bachelors for the first job? There's far too much discrimination against us spinsters in Asia I say! Ho ho, boom boom.
Sounds like some boozed up bitter teachers. Well they got a laugh from me anyway.
I'm sure if you were willing to live "like a local" you'd have plenty to live on and some to save from 30c per year, or is that just what they always say?
