I teach 10 classes a day and want a tv. I feel that my boss should supply one since I am teaching so many classes. He is very good about paying and even gives me overtime occasionally....but he said he will have to see about a tv. Should I push this issue or not? What are the normal standards? |

Download what you want to watch. If your learning Korean, maybe then it's worth it? But even then you can download those too. |

Meh... TVs are cheap.
Saw a few on here for as low as 20,000 won.
If he won't buy it, then just get your own. And remember next time he asks you for something. |

Regardless if it is in your contract specifically, if he is supposed to give you a furnished apartment then you should have a TV, especially if you want one.
If he won't do it, it is quite simple, tell him you won't teach.
But first just tell him you want a used, cable ready TV. They really are quite cheap. But do make sure it is cable ready because really old TVs aren't. Price him one. The 50,000 won or less, it should cost won't break his bank.
Good luck! |

As said already, there's nowt worth watching. My TV is used solely for watching DVDs and playing games on my 360.
