--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hi there
hope you get this in time, need advice about hogwon

ok so i am contracted for 30 hours, hence i do 30 classes.
our hogwon had recently hired another foreign teacher(as i was the only one there and there were 8 more classes which needed to be taught.
However she has now left, so they have 8 classes which i now have to do. But what they have done is added these classes to some of my other classes i teach. So i teach at the same time, but some classes i have to teach two classes mixed.
They were paying her 40,000 won per class( 8x40,00=320,000). so there now saving 320,000 won by making me teach two classes in one slot. Do you think i should say something. Like ask for more money even though i am still doing same hours yet saving them money. Please i need advice.
sorry about this just happened today .

I could say i will walk if they don't but Its a risk and a hassle I only have 4 months left of contract, should i say something. Or just ride it out.

Yet they did have problems getting a foreingn teacher, it took them 3 months to get me Also the teacher they just employed part time, was done illegally. She was on holiday visa and no degree.

Advice please.

I suggest just doing a half-assed job until they decide it's too much for you and hire someone else.
